dude, it’s a fucking MOVIE theater, I doubt it will be any more expensive than the $15 3-D “experience” at the Metreon.
Precisely.
Cannot wait until it opens! Another big step forward for the neighborhood and a cleaning up the wreckage that has been mission street.
So the Latin n Asian stores make the mission ugly??? White people acting like they’re down with the brown cause is what makes the mission ugly…..
Jogom,
I was thinking more like the fact that this is filling in an empty and abandoned building, of which there are many on the street.
how you turned my comment on the state of disrepair of the street into a racist attack is amazing. It shows you own deeply racist world-view. That sort of hate is going to limit your life choices. There are better ways to live.
Yeah, that’s kind of a straw-man argument there, pal. Nobody is against a business simply because it’s Asian or Latin owned. Mission Street has a mix of all kinds of business, but in general the street is a dump. A movie theater, on a street that once housed several, is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
