The photos are from my blog, and at the time they were posted someone was working on it, but that ceased quite some time ago. I live about two blocks from the Madison, grew up going to the theater nearly every weekend, and would love to see it restored. I think one of the main drawbacks is the owner, who can be charitably described as eccentric, and who has no interest in historic preservation.
Hi, I just discovered this site as a result of a click through to my own blog.
I believe you contacted me a few months ago. I really love the Madison, and spent many Saturday afternoons there in the 1950s and 1960s. On the Roosevelt High School alumni web site a few years back we even had a brainstorm session on movies we remembered seeing there. My list included “Journey to the Center of the Earth”, “Thunder Road”, “Bad Day at Black Rock”, “Dr. No”, “The Tingler”, “It, the Terror From Beyond Space”, “Angry Red Planet”, “Viva Las Vegas”, “Girl Crazy”, and about fifty more movies. And those are only the ones I can remember.
