Jim, thanks for you input… I am so devastated as I was truly hoping there would be hope. This reminds me of history repeating itself. Will there ever be a time when people think of the consequences of their actions? Look at the Fox and all the other palaces that have been razed. Sure, there will be photographs, word of mouth and and history but, there will be no buildings left… I am so glad that someone had sense and foresight when it came to the Paramount in Oakland and the other theatres that were saved. Money is great but, you can’t take it with you… Once again, thanks for your comment Jim…
First and foremost, I know a couple employees there and I can assure you and she is very reliable that the employees were NOT notified over the weekend as the posting had suggested… It was during the week… Second, with the way the Regal Chain has operated since engaging their presence, I am not surprised… The Regal Chain has not necesarilly been blessed with the most loyal or employee friendly reputation. This city over the last couple of years is turning into post yuppy Starbucks Sipping, cellphone using greedy group that have no respect for good things. Things are treated as disposable rubbish as are people and it is no wonder many do not understand the value of such a beauty. If the company truly cared for the business they are in, there were ways in which they could have saved it but, they sold the lease for a lump sum to the building owner who will make the the theatre into a money hungry cash flow for him or her and making the area more hoity toity than it can be… This is sad and a sad reflection of people’s greed and their pocketbooks…
