Looks like we may lose The River Oaks Theater and the Alamaba Theater...

I don't understand why Barnes & Noble couldn't have moved into the Alabama location.

There are some vintage shots here...

B&N isn't the type of bookstore the boyz in that hood prefer anyway.

The STREET Alabama.

I was thinking, "Like anyone in Alabama would notice the loss of a book store."

That's odd . . . the Weingarten statement directly contradicts the headline.

I understand the nostalgic concern but what they do with their own property is really up to them.

You can try to to use the force of public opinion and that is legitimate but I think some of the efforts to use city council etc. to block this is just wrong. It would also add to the tearing down of something a lot more important than a theatre or a bookstore...
