Columbus Theater, Opening Soon?

January 8, 2010

Anyone got the scoop on the Columbus? Does this sign on the marquee indicate that they have found funds to tackle their code issues or is it wishful thinking?

I’m hoping it is not just wishful thinking.

It’s been up for a few months now. I don’t see any construction permits but I’ll have to look next time I go by. It might be on the inner doors.

I’m pretty sure it’s wishful thinking.
