Harding Theatre

Offsite: Harding Theatre
The languishing Harding Theatre is now on its way to becoming condos in the Western Addition. Although it's touted as our "best neighborhood secret", for as long as I've lived in the area it has been nothing more than a dilapidated eyesore -- well, perhaps also a reason for Baptists to double park.

UPDATE: Turns out that the Harding Theater (sic) is a cause célebré. It's a trifle disingenous to claim that it is the last remaining single-screen theatre in the 'hood, because it's hardly a theatre. And if it were revived as ditto, how long would it last before Crunch (or, shudder, Curves) took it over?
