The Uptown Theater owners oppose bike lanes on Connecticut because it will take away customer parking.[/quote]

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Are we really supposed to give a shlt about the feelings of the owner of a drastically underused theater regarding city transportation policy? Why doesn't anyone ask owner of the Takoma Theater about transportation policy in Ward 4?[/quote]

The Uptown is one of the most important buildings in Cleveland Park, which locals fervently hope will be reopened as a theater or arts venue.  The owner has been vocal that parking is important. Who would want to see the Uptown be lost to just more mixed-use generica?

I definitely love the Uptown, but it’s been closed for four years, and so I’m not sure that we have any evidence that the current owners know any more about what’s good for it than anyone else does.  [/quote]

If only a small, non chain movie theater could possibly do well on Connecticut Avenue?  Nah, it's an impossible thing 😒 🤔 [/quote]

Are you referring to the Avalon?  It can’t survive without donations…it would fold tomorrow if it was completely for-profit.

That’s the only way the Uptown could make it.  That theater needs a complete internal renovation as well.[/quote]
