Next question is what happens to that beautiful building that house the fitness center

As far as classic movies last year the Sharon showed some great movies like “Gypsy” “Little Shop of Horrors” We saw several movies Excellent to see movies on that big screen. Like watching a Broadway show for the musicals

BUT in that huge theater there were less than 5 people for every show. More people working than in the theater And they also had. Special drinks that reflected the movie

I could never understand why people didn’t come

Soooo. I would say that’s one reason that the BW theater won’t reopen
I would have been one of those “five people” attending the classic movies at the Sharon had I been a resident last summer. Wish there was a greater demand for watching classic movies on the big screen here, but alas that is not the case. Most prefer their own homes. I remember in the 80s and 90s, there were many movie theatres in San Francisco that showed nothing but double-features of classic movies, who’s titles changed daily. Really introduced me to so many classic movies from the silents of the 20s up to the 50s. I was attending the monthly showing for film noir titles at the Savannah Center up until May. Don’t know if that is just on hiatus for the summer, or if that has been discontinued. Those showings seemed to attract a decent sized crowd for their afternoon schedule. Well, thank goodness for my large flat screen TV and the TCM channel to get my classic movie fix. 😀
