First of all, some updated photos! The Lory has had quite the face lift since being purchased by Justin & Hillary McLaughlin and re-opened.
Secondly, a correction to your statement about not having enough for a new projector. The Lory has two screens. The larger auditorium is on the 1st floor and they already purchased a state-of-the-art digital projector for that main theater! The Kickstarter is to fund the purchase of a digital projector for upstairs where the 2nd floor balcony was converted several decades ago into an additional smaller capacity auditorium. It is true that extensive renovation costs threw a wrench into the plans, but the movies shown since their re-opening on December 26, 2012 are all on a fantastic screen, with a fantastic projector, accompanied by fantastic sound!
The Fox 2 news story tries to cram so much into a tiny spot that you can almost miss the image of Justin with the interface screen working the computer of their new digital projector.
The community is rallying around the Kickstarter in very creative ways. Please stay tuned to this unfolding story and thanks for the mention!
