Comments about ‘Don't pave over history’

Only in America is an abandoned movie house from the 1970's considered "historic."

Good grief.

I will also miss the Cinedome, but there are a lot of things I miss from days gone by and yet life goes on.

Perhaps the letter writer could buy it with personal money or start up a "fund" to buy the property and preserve it. Otherwise, let the building change with everything else. I am all for preservation of historical buildings, but if we took this to the extreme, every building on Manhattan Island would be over 300 years old. Change happens!

Get over it, Allen. That building is an eyesore and isn't historical. Maybe you should purchase the property with your own funds and restore it to its former glory.

Movie theaters aren't "history", they are just businesses.

History is Gettysburg, Valley Forge, the statue of liberty, etc.

The theater may be nostalgic to the people who went there, but that doesn't make it "historic".

Is it on the State registry of historic buildings? If so... it's historic AND it's protected. If not... it's not historic.

Unless it's on the registry, If you want to save it you have to buy it and preserve it.
