Oh, no, that wouldn't do at all. Pity, though, there was a splendid old Art Deco theater--painted mural in the lobby, "gilded" statues above the exit doors, velvet curtain--that ran as a discount theater till barbari--um, gentrifiers with dollar signs dancing in their heads got their hands on it. To give you an idea: the dominant colors in the lobby mural were sea-green & light peach; it was "restored" in a hot pink & deep turquoise. Sigh. Even when they try, the buck-chasers just don't get it.
