Thanks to one of our readers who passed on this unconfirmed, but credible notice that the Humber Cinema is scheduled to close on Sunday July 20th. It was reported to us that this will not be publicly announced until the next day (July 21). The new owner is reported to be planning a health and fitness club on the site. The news will come as little surprise to most (except perhaps for the apparent stealth of the plan): neighbourhood movie theatres, like neighbourhood book stores, service stations, pharmacies, and neighbourhood anything are endangered species. Anyone who enjoys films, and who has had the "pleasure" of going to the Queensway mega-plex on a weekend will be especially disappointed. At least in this neighbourhood, we're lucky to have 2 Festival Cinemas (Revue & Kingsway) nearby. For world19, world19: |
