Hi Brutus. I do not live in Hemet. However, I'm very familiar with it, having a good friend who has served on the city council and as mayor, and a childhood dentist who worked out of his house just west of town. Plus owning a cabin in Idyllwild means I have been through your city quite a bit.

I agree with you about the theater. My concern was using the page for promotion of an event. That's not what Wikipedia is for. To say that "Band X will be appearing at XXX theater June 24th" is promotion. Saying "The XXX theater has fallen on hard times recently, but still manages to host several events, both film and music throughout the year." is not. That was my problem with your entry.

I appreciate the note and being able to discuss it with you. All best.

 * I'm sorry to hear that. Historic buildings and institutions are falling by the wayside and we're losing a sense of our history. That being said, this is not the place to talk about a particular event. Why not try inserting a subsection on the theater proper - history, current status, and it's threatened? -- Man way  03:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
