New Theater

Our little town has a wonderful history and alot of remarkable old buildings. A man who was brought up here has moved to California and made his fortune. Now he has returned to his hometown and has started buying up all the buildings as they go empty. His mother still lives here too. He has refurbished many of these buildings, one at a time, and new businesses have moved into them, providing more jobs for the people here. Now the pharmacy has moved into a beautiful new building on the edge of town and left a great old building standing empty. Well, this young man had the workmen start tearing it apart and found that it used to be a theater years ago. The town council has decided to start a drive to get the money to restore the theater. They found two old neat pictures painted on the walls once they started taking them apart. They are going to restore them too. The floor is going to have to be redone as it no longer slopes downward to where the stage used to be. The marquee hanging out over the building has been torn apart and the framework is still there. It's easy to see now that it was a theater at one time. I think it will be a wonderful addition to our town as the young and old will have somewhere to go for entertainment without traveling a distance to a theater. We are all looking forward to it.
