Thanx for everyone's concern! I have been fighting an uphill battle to keep this place intact, and find a good use. Mr. Gill's article was very informative, but much more to be said. A BeckCenter presence would be fine, but other options always considered. I had never intended to develop it myself , but find an interested party. The city of Lakewood had recently done the study for revitalization of this area - and Beck would be a nice fit - in the meantime, just trying to keep the apts. livable, and pay the bills. Any ideas always welcomed! bob d. bobtheatre [at] aol [dot] com
