The building suddenly looked naked. <br /><br />I mourn the loss of one of the city's few remaining single screen theaters, but I do understand that the availability of South Asian DVDs, and now streaming movies, make it a money-losing proposition to continue. It's actually pretty amazing that the nearby Jackson Theater continues to operate, albeit on a shoestring and cut up badly into smaller theaters.<br /><br />So, I guess a South Asian food court, etc. is as good a use as can be expected for the old Earle/Eagle. At least they aren't going to tear the theater, with it's very nice art deco facade, down entirely. Still, I do very much wish that the marquee, with its wonderful 1930s deco style letters, had been retained.mingusalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243344762935777939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-13814462762479767832012-03-10T15:00:08.921-08:002012-03-10T15:00:08.921-08:00I stand corrected.
