A Note on Heritage and Old Movie Theatres

Funny timing, between the music and my learning the latest on the fate of the Mayfair Theatre on Bank Street in Old South Ottawa.


The first I went to actually see a movie there was Serenity, as part of the annual global fundraiser for Equality Now. Damn good movie, and the cause was worth the time and the money as well. As well, the architecture of the place was a touchstone of sorts for me to a time before my parents' birth. It may not be special as such things go, but I'd like to see a way to keep that place standing as a movie theatre, and a place of fun for that part of town. It would be one more excuse to visit that part of town more often, and a good one, too.

Just a thought.
