Seriously, it's not about workers or covid, plenty of elderly people were working there to subsidize income. Cost to purchase a movie to run it? Nah, can't be cost could it? They can build a city.

The Brownwood theater is gorgeous and is a perfect eample of TV developers, moving on. What's the excuse when they can move mountains and change the world for years to come. Villagers saying "Leesburg theater is great..." - WHAT??? DOES the trolley tour go to Leesburg now?

Call it a trivial "first world problem" if one wants but it is a fair example of they build and move on. S of 44, you can see a BIG change brewing that will impact the parts of T V where they have moved on.

Good point. I think the villages should have kept the theater open and REQUIRED every resident to attend it regularly so that it would remain sustainable. Ask those grandkids when the last time they went to the movie theater back home was (vs streaming on their ipads or TVs).
