Fox Theatre...

Fox Theatre, Paso Robles. The theatre has been closed for many years now. The building and sign were starting to their age. So the city had the building owners repaint the facade. In it's way, the aged peeling paint covered sign, earned it's look. I thought it looked great, and so did many other people (Google search the Fox Theatre Paso Robles, and see all that comes up). Although I preferred the sign to be left alone, I can understand the city's stand, and the want to make the building more "wine friendly". But if you are going to repaint the sign/building, at least research the color history, and paint it accordingly. Better yet, get some money together and do a proper restoration on the sign and building face. The city should get behind this and kick in some money. Make this a showpiece right in the center of town. Anything would be better that a tan and white flat house paint, painted facade. Most towns would kill to have a classic theatre, Paso should quit looking past theirs.
This is actually the way that the theatre should be restored, back to the Hi Ho theatre, as it appeared in 1941.
