Don Lewis commented about Tyler Theatre on Dec 27, 2007 at 3:36 pm

Hello Cinema Treasures. The sentence, “The theater "was has” been gutted and converted into retail use", in the theater description is not my sentence or my words.

Would you please at least correct the grammar?

Thanks…….

Don Lewis commented about "Oswald's" restored Texas Theatre to reopen January 2008 on Nov 11, 2007 at 11:16 am

“Restored” or “renovated” can hardly be used in the same sentence that describes the TEXAS as it stands as of November 2007.

Take a look at the comments and photos posted on Cinema Treasures and it becomes obvious that the TEXAS has become a shell of its former self.

It took 3.5 million to do this!?

Too bad……..It was just a matter of time.

Don Lewis commented about Texas Theatre on Nov 5, 2007 at 11:59 pm

The city of Dallas can’t even restore a pot hole. The rumor of a reopening is several years old.

Take a look a some of the previous comments. Money is going down a black hole somewhere.

Also take a look at the pictures, past and present. The TEXAS has become a mere shell of its former self.

This is a restoration???
