they also designed almost 20 movies theatres in the bay areas and hardy theatre, the balboa theatre and the colosseum has been renovated and the theatre in oakland. so as part of this project the dallas-fort -- adaptive reuse of the project is preserving and you features of the building. the traz oh floor and box office area and along gearey boulevard and in the 1940s and the marquis signed we would restored and keep in tact on the building. it's on the left. it was interesting how the architects really look at some of the old historic ornament with their art deco version of the 1940s. the interior of the building as i said it was originally an 1800 seat one screen theatre in 1942 of that time. it was down the middle and two small exteriors were added to the middle. pretty much everything in intact from the 1942 model from the grand stairs with the handrail and the chandelier is original to the building in 1923 and some of the plaques as i have noted and the water front is a fantastic tile still there that is quite nice. so the existing building, this is hard to see, but the existing bu

we have kabuki theatre and which service food and drinks and there is the theatre in portland which i think is similar to the alexandria theatre and both face closure. the theatre was reopened by a chain of group pubs that found success showing second run film and selling cheap tickets and attracting people with delicious food and beverages which is i think is a more viable plan than trying to cram more retail space in a space that already has a problem filling retail space. i have some pictures here to show the baghdad theatre. i don't know if it will show over my phone, but i will try. you can see in the interior of the theatre there is tables where people can watch the movie while they are eating their food and having their beverages. we can have community events there, we can have live shows, guest speakers, live music and the local schools can do performances on. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm speaking on behalf of myself. sue von. this is a great plan. i'm so happy to see something happening on this corner. this is a place where i live. i think former commissio

this is an exclusively rich theatre. when you see a complicated space like this without having a commit operator, it gets a little dicey to just optimistically looking into future where other opportunities to get entitlement for the process but it's like the tail wagging the dog. i'm concerned about that process. are you in agreement that the first floor, the retail spaces because of the exposure and the way they are chopping up the big easter egg are difficult for anybody, the interior and unless you are in paris where you have some kind of a grand designer of making use of the drama of the space, it's very hard to find a normal operator in this kind of space. >> i think again we don't have an operator at this point of course, so it's hard to answer that question as to the final design, but this is the kind of space that should the y be interested in, we do not need the second level of entry and then they could be in a position to use the whole thing on an operator like that, it could actually improve the way this inter
