Here's a challenge: Make the old Cinemarks that Loeks bought look like dumps. And I don't even want to think about the gaudy, heinous Celebration!(!!!!!!!) interior this will probably have. (Loeks' has the scratch for it-call it a "gift" to downtown). Toss in a ramp like the Ellis ramp on Pearl between Ottawa and Monroe, with ticketing and retail on the ground floor, and the theaters above, with a snazzy "sky lobby" accessed by a trio of huge glass elevators. Now.) Something like the AMC River East 21 in Chicago would be nice. Seriously, though, this would be a nice development, although I really wish they would do something more substantial with the building other than this glass-and-metallish-crap-encased-suburbanesque-vomit-inducing stink bomb. Personally, I would like to see them put the theater on top of the Government Center ramp. This building appears to be rather sprawling instead of being vertically oriented. I like to gripe about parking lots as much as the next guy, but lack of parking is a valid point. One person even wrote "GR needs more, not less, parking." On the topic of parking, I read WOOD TV8's article regarding these plans and most of the Facebook comments were complaints about parking.
