Only time will tell. The theater is in my backyard and we’ve been watching and hearing the progress for over two years now. All the hoopla regarding the opening has been a bit over the top and I’ve not been happy with the lack of objectivity regarding what the surrounding community and the lack of interest in those who live here. Today, though, I’m leaving all that aside because the finished product is spectacular and I can’t wait for my kids to grow up half a block away from this great Columbus treasure.
I’m very excited about it and agree that the finished product is pretty spectacular. The Theater itself may not entirely revive the neighborhood, but it’s going to certainly going to give the area a big boost.
Also good to see that two of the four retail slots in the front of the building sound like they’re already being filled. I’m hoping that the new foot traffic from the theater can get that restaurant space across the street filled in as well.
