I have given my support to saving the theater. I have many memories fo Saturday afternoons there. My first date was there.

I read the prospectus for the new store, and what it would take to fix the theater. There is asbestos and lead paint in the building. The way it is now it is unsafe for occupants.

Yes, it would be very nice if the grocer would incorporate the theater into their plans, but who would be paying for the refab? That area of Robbinsdale is slowly being forgotten. A new shopping area would revitalize the entire area. 

The theater should never have allowed to decay to this point. It would still need help, but if it had had work done over the years the cost now would not be as prohibitive for new owners. 

At this point I don't know if I can still support the saving of the theater.
