Who knows. Maybe it will re-open as an adaptive re-use building? The theatre could be re-purposed. Modernized? Do we need more than one theatre on that street? <---honest question.

If the Core stayed open late every night now I wonder how much more business the west LRT would bring in?
Another small but significant hit to downtown was the closure of the Barron Building. Does anyone have any news on its status? I think there were only two theatres in there, but they were busy all the time with alternative movies, modern dance, and other things as well.
