Well I had a nice picture for you but MT won't let me upload it right now.
Anyhoo, today is the meeting for the Fullerton Historical Foundation to present their fundraising results and hear the verdict from the city about saving the Fox Theatre. They have raised a lot of money but not enough - what they hope for is permission to take out a loan for the remainder of the money and raise the rest of the money in order to purchase the building. This project is something I've been following closely ever since Phil and I started talking about buying that theatre for our own selfish purposes: an indie/art house.
Let's cross our fingers - they're meeting RIGHT NOW in City Hall.

I'm still on the mailing list, but I haven't made it to a meeting. Even if I weren't going to live in the area, I would love to know that it is being used in a creative, culturally-enriching way.
