If you’ve read the article by the time you get to this, I’ll give you my own opinion: Summer of ‘08 had passed and the theater looks exactly as it did two years ago.

I’ve located a website maintained by the person who now owns it; he evidently operates the shop beneath it.

In my experience of searching through theaters, I’ve never before seen one with an entrance to a second floor auditorium. Maybe I’ve just not looked in the right places.
