Went there growing up and took my kids there even when I moved out of town. It is a beautiful, cozy building and holds so many wonderful memories. Would hate to see Madison without it.

Enough with overpriced condos we need more arts centers and preservation of the historic character of Madison. Profiteers are ruining our town.

Madison does not need more condos! Bring back the beloved movie theatre!! It is such an important part of Madison's downtown and is already missed!

The theater has been an important part of my life in Madison, full of many memories. The idea of it being gone and the new generations in Madison not being able to create similar memories there is greatly upsetting.

No more condos!
Some form of an arts center would be an ideal use for this building.

There is a similar movement in Flemington, NJ, in which a developer wants to demolish the famous hotel in the middle of town. Public interest can make a difference.

Could we not reach a compromise? A community gathering space that could be a small theater on the first floor and condos above, including some affordable housing? Maintain the facade but re-build behind. There is not enough parking for condos so we have a bargaining chip to play with the new owner.

Madison is one of the few remaining communities that demonstrates its commitment to its citizens and the arts in its focus on balancing commercial with creative and historic interests. Demolishing a historic building like this is not in keeping with that Madison Commitment. In addition, the location of the proposed condominiums would create problems that would begin the demise of what makes Madison special....we need to learn to be wise enough to just say no before it is too late. The theater provides a wonderful down town opportunity that is missing in many other communities. Please do not let Madison become just another town.

Keep theater open! We would not have let the sale go through had we known your intentions.
We love the theater. It is central to the community.

The Madison Theatre was my first job as an usher. This building holds so much sentimental value to me. Please do the right thing and keep it, find parking, financial support and vision to save it for future generations.

This theater should be saved. The amount of construction for transient living in Madison has reached all time highs. No more condos, apartments!

If I've learned anything about this town, it's this: if it's going to make somebody (or their brother, or their cousin) a buck, then it's going to happen, no matter how ugly or culturally destructive it is. Look at Park Ave. Look at the Green Village Ave School. Look at how many more enormous houses and fewer trees we have now. I hope this petition works, but I'm not exactly optimistic.
(Note: I'm in Madison, but my IP may make me show up as Parsippany)

I'm a 3rd generation madisonian and soent my whole childhood in this town. I've had many childhood memories of hanging out downtown and going to this movie thearter. It is one of the reasons we as kids spent so much time down town.
