I do think that they think they will get approval. The opening of the new "upscale" restuarant where Too Jays was and the new pricier menu at Augustines indicates to me that apartments will be developed. And the use of the former Hacienda Country Club land is still undecided.
I agree with others, not sure another breakfast place is considered upscale but it is at least something new.

They would often show art house movies and have film festivals at the Rialto. Went to a Hitchcock one not too long ago and recall them showing Gone with the Wind.

Also often on Halloween they would show old monster movies.

problem is that everything that Hollywood is putting out isn't worth going to see if you're a senior, have values and want and actual story line
Well hm. Everyone has values. Just not everyone has YOUR values. The seniors who remember the milk man delivering a bottle to a box outside the door, are not the seniors who are moving in to the Villages anymore. My generation grew up with supermarkets with entire dairy departments.

Diversity happens whether you want it to or not. And it's moving into the Villages, along with a diverse set of values, and interests in movies.
