After seeing this on here, I myself have driven by the Que Vadis a few times in the last few days.I myself agree that the place does stand out. As with the other photos of Westland it appears that the vacated big box stores stand out more.I myself knew that when the larger more modern Showcase Theateres opened that the Quo would end up closing.
While refreshing my memory on the Quo Vadis, The family who built it in the first place had the idea of moving forward. If they still owned it and ran it keeping up with things. The theatre could have been gone long ago replaced by a newer multi plex.
My girlfriend remembers the Quo and said that it fell into the tacky relm of things. I remember it as a pace that had seen its better days and was not surprised that it closed.Had I had known what a "GEM" it is, I would have looked at the place more intenly.
Having seen a now torndown theatre in the middle of downtown Wayne, I see how long this can drag out.Somedays I agree with the folks who thin that we should be like Detroit Dad and be an urban pioneer, Yet if that were to happenit would most likely end up with people wanting there space, moving to the burbs and starting it over again.
