The Malek is finally listed in the Historical Society of Iowa, and the National Register of Historic places. I worked hard in getting this done, and have been serious through this whole trying to get the Malek back to life! The city of Independence has not been supportive at all in this, I believe they thought I was just playing down there, but I was trying to keep it maintained with what little funds I had, while trying to work and support my family. Since I started, another movie cinema has been built and it really was a devastating blow to our hopes and dreams of bringing life back into our beautiful historic downtown, I thought having a brilliant display of neon on the marquee would have been a great attraction! We wanted our place to entertain Independence and help with community events and house shows that would enlighten the crowds! Now, the time for everyone to be serious and get involved instead of getting inquisitive has come. there is no doubt this theater is a huge part of Independence’s heritage, and people need to be helpful so there can be something other than a big piece of crap sitting and rotting away as they drive/walk past it wondering what is going to happen with the theater. Indee knows how to contact me, let’s get real and make something happen!
