Terrace Theater, Charleston, S.C.
I finally got back on track and pulled off one of my favorite rituals yesterday, rushing from work to pull up at the Terrace Theater in time for the matinee. It is the perfect end to my work week - sitting alone in the dark, sipping a cuppa hot tea and letting the busy week melt away.
It was not the perfect end to the day to be greeted by Mike, the owner telling me he had sold the theater.
Aaaaack! Is this allowed? Am I not to be consulted? I'm practically a weekly investor. Will the new owners keep it the same? Will they be able to make me hot tea that doesn't taste like coffee?
Oh dear, this sounds like a time to be sad. But, perhaps not, maybe the new owners will add some new energy to the place and bring in more movie goers and be able to keep it open longer. I guess you'll just need to hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteWill it still be a theater? This has been happening all over the country for years...so sad. Now all we've got are megaplexes that have as much character as a box of saltines!
ReplyDeleteFolks don't worry ! We are selling because the theater is dong well! One of the best theaters in the state. No National Trust needed.
ReplyDeleteMike, All right. As long as you promise :)
ReplyDeleteIts funny if you sell people think your doing poorly.
ReplyDeleteWe are being selfish. You turned it into something we love and we don't want it to change.
