I commend you on your struggle!
Thank God you were able to save it! We here in Sydney, Nova Scotia are also fighting to save a theatre called The Vogue, a smaller theatre in the downtown core which has been bought (or nearly so) by a businessman who owns half of Sydney, and he wants to doze it and build an office building!
If anyone can also help with this, come to Facebook and look for the Save the Vogue group and/or visit savethevogue.ca
Not a plug, but a common thread. Let's keep these heritage movie houses open!
