Peoria Theater - Independent Film and Event Center closing. Peoria in a nutshell.

Once again, this area proves what I've always thought.

Nothing out of the mainstream is destined to stick around long in this city. 

Peoria Theater was a great venue to see films that you're not going to see anywhere in this area.  Films that you use your brain to watch, not some mainstream crap full of tired cliched situations.  It was also one of the best deals in the area, where you could get 2 tickets 2 drinks and some popcorn for right around $20.  And see a great movie.

Luke said that the films he brought in were some of the same ones shown in the top independent movie houses in country.  But alas, enough Peorians will never get behind this kind of operation.

I guess that's just the way it is.


UPDATE:  Luke will be meeting with the Apollo Theater on Tuesday.  Let's hope for good news.
