Top .0005 % = (using calculator).

.0005%

Also why haven't they finished the Rialto renovations, construction has been going on else where?

Realto has been closed for over a year. They say renovations, yes but contractor had to wait to see if they were gonna be allowed apartments all above Spanish Springs. Commission turned that down, now they can finish Realto. Might have had stairs to go to apartments through Realto area.

Agree but.... be careful of the green jealousy dragon. That's exactly what our "leaders" on all sides want, to see us gradually sink into envy and resentment and even turn on each other. Capitalism takes care of most things, if a burger is raw or overdone, you can walk with your feet to the next place, if a movie house charges $15 for popcorn and a Coke, people walk to their home theaters where the refreshment stand has ALL their favs (lol), and when really "good" films (that is such a qualitative variable) are made, people will go. My opinion ? I really miss "epic" films, does anyone else ? Films like Dr. Zhivago, The Last Emperor, Dances with Wolves, The Deer Hunter, Far From the Madding Crowd, on and on, just listing a few makes me think of how much I miss them.... and the first "epic" my parents took me to see in the "big city" ; The Greatest Show on Earth. Our small town showed mostly serials & "cowboy" movies, nothing like The Greatest show on Earth.

I hope the Developers do not push the Rialto and Barnstorm Theater into some other kind of establishment.

For the growing population of the Villages, we need more movie theaters, not fewer.

I figure it will take 3 or 4 weeks just to get all that stuff they have been putting in there every week, every time they show construction in the Villages, they say they are still installing interior stuff.

all the more reason why these actors should keep their opinions to themselves.

Never understood why people would want to hear the opinions of these people.

I think they stopped working on the theatre for awhile so they're behind.

They did for a while during the height of the Corona Virus spread.

With the advent of conglomerates, I believe capitalism has died. Chance are if you don't like something and decide to buy something else, the same conglomerate owns that company too.
