I have been through the same thing in my own neck of the woords with the shuttering of the Ridgefield Park Rialto to build offices, and there have been a few more too that have been forced out due to economic wows. i do hope your wishes there for re-location become a reality, though I know you generally having a thriving film going community there.<br /><br />Happy New Years to you and yours Dan!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-6056433239356369562009-12-31T10:46:41.291-06:002009-12-31T10:46:41.291-06:00Thanks, Joel - I'll be happy to add my year-en...Thanks, Joel - I'll be happy to add my year-end posts, once I finish them of course (could be late January, as usual).<br /><br />Thanks for that, Kathie. Everything I've heard sounds promising and I didn't know Ryan is also now taking over St. Anthony Main, so that will really open up the flexibility of things. Should be cool. But, as far as the Oak goes, I'm really skeptical of him calling the Oak the "jewel" of the organization. Might get some MSPIFF screenings, but nobody is going to use that place for any kind of "gala" event. But I should reserve my judgment until at least the next festival comes and goes.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-14578943917338050162009-12-29T23:29:24.373-06:002009-12-29T23:29:24.373-06:00Interesting article from Euan Kerr Oak Street clos...Interesting article from Euan Kerr <a href="http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/state-of-the-arts/archive/2009/12/oak-street-cinema-closing---kinda---sorta.shtml" rel="nofollow">Oak Street closing - kinda - sort</a> makes me even more encouraged that St Anthony may be a new spot for first run films.

Here's the relevant post:<br /><br />http://thesunsnotyellow.blogspot.com/2009/12/best-of-blogosphere.html<br /><br />Hope you'll jump in - among other things, this gives me the opportunity to catch up with what I've missed as my blogroll expanded, yet my blogging and blog-reading largely slipped. I enjoyed the Michael Jackson conversations here & on my blog in particular but I missed a lot too: point me in the right direction!<br /><br />Happy new year,<br /><br />Joel (MovieMan0283)Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.com
