Bagley Ave. Theater Reclamation, Renewal, Repurposing.

[Vitalis]

Dear Forum Pontificators,

While the Michigan Theater has - over time - become the film communities favorite parking deck, it's still just a hollowed out parking facility. Shame. And I fear the same fate is in store for the United Artists. Double shame. But in this age of miracles which is downtown/midtown Detroit, I suspect either auditorium or both could be reclaimed and made whole once again, no? I mean if money were no object. So, my question to you forum phenoms is this: Which theater would you reclaim and why? With the caveat of having to replicate the historical architecture of each theater as accurately and completely as possible. Now, as far as a need for another renovated theater palace - there may not be a market for such a property, but if you resurrect it, will they not come? My money would be on the Michigan [[though my heart may be with the UA).
