Jeff, to the best of my knowledge, he is still the same legal owner.
That place is truly a gem, and hopefully it can get renovated in my lifetime!
Thanks. It sounds like the current owner is more of a restauranteur? I would just hope that he doesnt take an historical theater, built in 1923, tear out the seats and screen and make it into yet another club, lounge etc. That would be a travesty. I would think, (parking difficulties aside) that a restored and revamped movie theater would do fantastic there--for the immediate locals, students, and those in the vicinity. Old films, foreign screenings, revivals. What better marriage than that--with patrons then going next door or down the block for coffee, espresso, great italian desserts, or dinner, either before or after a showing.
Id love to do that with the Mayfield. I think it would be a great success, keeping it as a movie house, 600 seats and all. :clap:
