Ford To Pull Back Curtain On New Hybrid In 09
Filed Under Country Curtain | Posted on December 26, 2008
When New York City’s Carnegie Hall faced demolition in the 1960s, a group of artists, musicians and enthusiasts, including Exeter resident Jean Antrim, marched the city streets in protest.
“There’s no reason something like that can’t happen here. This is history. It shouldn’t be lost,” said the musician who played so many shows in Carnegie Hall that she called it “my hall.” “Once it’s gone, if it’s gone, it’s gone forever. All the history and the things that have happened here are gone and that’s a bad thing.”
Antrim told Detzler she was almost in tears at the thought of the theater’s history coming to an end. He told her not to cry because he thinks something can be done.
Rachel Gloss and Kelly Warner said they have seen as many films at the Ioka as they could and are sad to lose their local theater, one they could even walk to.
