During my 40 plus years of living in Madison, I experienced the joy of walking to this historic icon to enjoy the movies on more occasions than I could possibly count. It would be a community tragedy to lose this building.

Save this historic theater. It draws people of all ages which is healthy for a thriving downtown. It's been loosing customers to Morristown theater's comfortable chairs. Perhaps switch out the seats and I'm sure more viewers would come. It's worth it to preserve this valuable site rather than loosing it to condos.

The cinema is an integral part of the community both with historical importance and bringing the community together. It also aides other businesses as going for pizza, ice cream in town after the movie is always part of our ritual. To lose such a site I feel will negatively impact what makes Madison so special

The movie theatre is an extremely important space for our community and youth. Please don't let us lose this hallmark of our town. It will make our town bleed out even more.

Madison downtown is in awful shape. Residents crucial to growth and development of downtown. If theater was viable it wouldn't have been sold.

PLease, we do NOT need more condos. WE need this historic theater preserve d as a place for residents to enjoy and participate in the arts. YOu cannot eat money, but you can consume the arts and history. DO not let this theater be demolished!

Not sure if it was the case, but I was thinking that if greed was the motivation for getting rid of a neighborhood movie theater, where people have gathered and gone for decades, why am I living here? It was one of the charming things about the town that drew us and kept us here. I realize that it probably won't make it as a movie theater in future, but maybe it can be used for something that will draw families again. To see it torn down for condos almost makes me physically ill. Please, folks, there has to be a better solution.

Save the historic theater and use it for a community arts and cultural center. A much better use than condos.

This movie theater is too important to close. It is integral to the spirit of Madison's quaint/ charm of a small town that still offers much to experience during your stroll. Save it, it is imperetive !
