Speaking of theatres... the Festival Cinema chain is closing down as of June 30th.
The Royal is for sale -- 2.7 million -- I predict it will be a club or a mall before too long.
The Paradise, the Revue and the Kingsway are all closing and the Fox will stay open.
It is really too bad that the single screen cinema business is dead. I would love to run one of these cinemas...
I'd love to see the Royal or the Revue turned into restaurant/bar combo where you can also go and see films.
Sadly, the architecture is most likely to be lost for good.
