[TB] That's not what I've understood from reading a couple of articles. It's been my understanding that the local company owned/run by Tom Hoch, Fred Krone and Lee Lynch would run the theatres (as they do now), with a non profit taking ownership of the buildings. The articles were very clear that the contract provides that Clear Channel will NOT own the buildings. Clear Channel would be involved in booking SOME of the shows that appear in the theatre (as it does now), the local group would continue to book SOME shows into the theatres (as they do now). It seems that the current arrangement is working rather well. I see no advantage in letting the Ordway monopolize the Twin Cities theatre market. Competition is generally a good thing. Why let the lower quality product take over? Terrell Brown Loring Park REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
