What I couldn't (wouldn't?) do with $20 million! Pharmacies seem to be on the same kind of building spree. Must be that large companies do their demographic surveys at the same time, and all decide to build their "megaplexes" or "super stores" in virtually the same location, based on the numbers. Not only do they kill the well-run existing businesses, but they cannibalize each other. "Survival of the Fittest" in its worst sense. ------------------ John P.

Sorry Bob. If it's not speaking "out of class", what data was used to make the decision? I suspect the problem is that several circuits look at the same demographic data, and it's a few years before they realize their competition had the same plan.FWIW, the article does praise the theatre as being well designed and equipped. Shame it didn't work out. ------------------ John P.
