dewlineI'm a little late with this news.
The Bytowne Cinema is being revived. The CBC News link is from June, so I am really slow in getting the word out. Per the article: "Daniel Demois and Andy Willick have owned and operated Toronto's Fox Theatre since 2007, and in 2014 they purchased the Apollo Cinema in Kitchener, Ont. Now they're preparing to unreel another chapter at the ByTowne."
I was hoping for this, but wasn't sure to actually expect it to happen.
It has indeed happened, though, and Demois and Willick are working on getting the insides of the place spruced up a bit for the audiences they hope and expect to see at the door when the Bytowne reopens.
More as it develops...
