As many of you are aware, the Coronado Village Theater has been closed for many years now. I did a blog post – The Coronado Village Theater – back in January when word was released from Coronado Currents that renovation plans were in place and included restoration of the façade to its original grandeur and an interior remodel that would result in three movie screens and state-of-the-art acoustics all keeping with a 1940s era flavor.

Talk of the renovations went silent. Talk in town is that the cost of retro-fitting the theater discouraged the potential new owners.

Now, the buzz is that the owner of the property, Lance Alspaugh has decided to go forward with the restorations himself. In fact, I received this e-mail from Mr. Alspaugh this evening ~
