FYI, There are two old movie houses that could be considered, The Village on University @ Greebriar (It could be torn down within the next few months and is going under Abestos removal right now) or The Bel-Air on Bellaire near Stella Link (about 2 1/2miles from Rice). Parking problems may limit access to both facilities. Both movie houses are circa-1940s and are of the same age as The Granada in Dallas (A Draughthouse opened about 5 years ago). -- ========================================================================= Nick Metrowsky | Internet: nmetro@ricevm1.rice.edu VAX System Programmer | Bitnet: nmetro@ricevm1 Rice University | Phone: (713)285-5409 Houston, Texas 77005 | FAX: (713)527-6099 =========================================================================

I don't think the Village cinema will be torn down; there was an oblique reference in the Chronicle to a desire to have it placed on the National Historical Register. -- Kevin Skadron | Lightning never strikes twice, unless your skadron@owlnet.rice.edu | computer program is due tomorrow.

Don't bet on it. Market Square downtown (by the bayou) is a National Historical District, but in danger of losing that status as old buildings bite the dust. Just in the last year, two or three of the oldest buildings in town were demolished. Kennedy Corner was the oldest, from around 1860, and the owner just let it rot until it almost fell down on its own. The Pappas family (you know, the ones that have those fake old restaurants) tore down another, after "accidentally" getting a demolition permit they weren't entitled to. And the Rice/Weingarten Realty partnership has already told World Toy (next door to the Village Theater) that they will be kicked out. The owner (one of the two old ladies) didn't take it too well, and has since died -- her nephew says of a broken heart. The Shamrock Hotel was a lot more historic and had a lot more popular support than the Village Theater, and it's *gone*. --paco -- Paul Havlak Dept. of Computer Science Graduate Student Rice University, Houston TX 77251-1892 PFC/ParaScope projects (713) 527-8101 x2738 paco@cs.rice.edu
