\"Old theatres are irreplaceable. They could never be duplicated at today\'s costs - but more importantly, their spirit could not be duplicated because they remind us of a day when going to the show was a more glorious and escapist experience. I think a town\'s old theatres are the sanctuary of its dreams.\"-Roger Ebert
The Senator Theatre

It had looked like you had nominated it, and then him. But since it's just a nom from him, make mine a second.
