to our neighborhood movie theater's credit, this wasn't its first pandemic rodeo.
it first opened as a vaudeville stage back in 1916, so it also somehow made it through the 1918 spanish flu pandemic too.
maybe the building itself "remembered".
in reality, they likely got a bunch of relief aid. there's not a whole lot else you can do with a century-old historic theater building.
and it just went through a multi-million dollar restoration/renovation 5 years ago to breathe new life into it.
I'm overjoyed that we didn't lose it forever.
