This is tragic. I hope they will rebuild it. My Wife is stuck in the 244 traffic right now.

Tell her to exit if she can, they have 244 westbound blocked.

just awful.  what a piece of history.

[DolfanBob]

She finally made it by and said there is nothing there. All gone.

Live just about a mile and a half from it.  My biggest recollections of her was during my 8th grade year taking the bus to Bell Jr High, we had to take 244 to get there westbound right by it.  For about five months of my 8th grade year I always wondered why there were cars in the lot, morning/noon/night.  Turns out that's the year they were filming 'The Outsiders'.

Tragic loss. Went to so many movies therefrom child hood until I left Tulsa in '98. I hope they rebuild.

they updated the World article with a statement/comments from the owner.  It appears the screens had no insurance due to them being wood structures and no underwriters would insure it.  Sad day indeed.

I'm guessing that means it's done then.  I would guess with engineering and construction costs minimum of $500K to rebuild it.

I will miss seeing that flick they showed every winter: "Closed For Season"

Ya wanna know what I see Chet ?
I see the under developed inner city land, That with proper management, drainage and local City codes brought through out with time and money. A Government housing project with their own waste managment onsight security, possibly run with County regulated clean environmentally nuclear power energy at minimal cost to the tax payer and City and State. Now I ask you Chet. What do you see ?

I uhh.....I just see a burned down theatre.

Well nobody ever accused you of having the grand vision.
