If I recall, the paper removed the main floor and installed a two story press on the basement floor.

From Ron Keddy’s Facebook post of 11/20/2016. Took my “Movies Under The Stars” equipment up to the tiny town of Garrett, Indiana (above Fort Wayne) to do a free town-sponsored Christmas movie to kick off their holiday season. Over 200 in attendance at their beautiful old local theatre, The Silver Screen, that has been closed for about two years. Many, many happy faces of the families and especially the children, many of whom have never seen the inside of a real theatre.

Living in the same county as the Alex, I wonder why a business model that has been working for decades needs changed.

Rushville councilman posts viral dance video to raise funds for city restoration project

Posted: Jul 09, 2015 11:19 AM EDT Updated: Jul 09, 2015 11:25 AM EDT By WTHR Channel 13 Connect RUSHVILLE, Ind. –

A Rushville city councilman is putting his dance moves to the test, hoping a viral video will help him raise funds for the restoration of downtown Rushville’s Princess Theater.

Councilman Brian Sheehan recorded a video of himself busting moves and it quickly went viral with more than one million views. So, he decided to use the video to help a cause close to his heart.

Watch the video here if it doesn’t display above.

“Brian is a wonderfully pleasant guy that works tirelessly donating his time and talents to improve his community,” said Shane Dunigan, one of Sheehan’s friends.

A city advisory board, which Sheehan is a part of, has been exploring options for the restoration of Rushville’s Princess Theater. They hope to restore it to its former glory and have asked the mayor to send out requests for architects to develop proposals for reuse of the space.

Sheehan is asking anyone who watches his video and who enjoys it to visit his GoFundMe page and donate money to the Heart of Rushville, which oversees fund disbursements for the project.

Old Grouch, I was there a few months ago for a funeral. You might consider me an “old timer”, I go back to the late 70’s when I moved into the community. I will see the Hilltop gets added.
