Re: Dundee Theater
Could even put a small addition on the east side so there could be room for a small bar. I can't imagine how much revenue they missed by people showing up to midnight movies wasted rather than doing it in the theater!mr. omaha wrote:2Adam29 wrote:While I'd applaud a refurbishment of the building I don't see that happening. The building is far too close to the street to not be seen as a huge liability for any future Tennant. I remember standing outside the place for Rocky horror picture show and nearly falling into dodge just standing there. I think we'll be lucky if we don't have a total repeat of the CVS a block away.
Since he owns that lot to the east and there is access to the parking to from the north, one could seal the doors to Dodge St. for safety and to maintain the aesthetics, eliminate the entrance to the parking lot from Dodge St., and then punch a hole through the east wall for a new lobby entrance. If one reconfigured the location of the parking stalls, one could even do a nice landscaped plaza-type area along the building. Just ideas for the future owner of this property...

Re: Dundee Theater
Ha! Wicker Park was a legit hipster enclave in the '80s and '90s, before anyone knew what hipsters were, and largely still is. But like all things hipster, it's gentrifying and becoming mainstream. When Real World filmed here in the early 2000s, I think it was the only time the show was ever protested due to fear that wide exposure to the neighborhood would lead to accelerated gentrification. Lately the bros of Lakeview have been getting priced out and are migrating this way. Bucktown's wealth seems to be subtly and effectively creeping in as well, The hipsters of Wicker Park have fought the invasion hard and sometimes violently, but are slowly losing the battle and moving on to places like Logan Square and Bridgeport...or Pilsen if they're really hardcore.Garrett wrote:I mean I suppose you aren't AS bad being in Bucktown...TitosBuritoBarn wrote:Well, technically my side of the street is Bucktown, but I've never gotten that reaction to Wicker Park.

As for the moving of the hipsters, you're dead on about Pilsen. I did extensive work with the Pilsen Alliance a year ago studying the neighborhood, and boy, is it on the verge. A little bit of irony, considering that people getting priced out of Wicker are now moving and pricing people out of Pilsen. The cycle certainly continues, eh? And yeah, Wicker does clean up with the brunch spots.... so does Lincoln Park. I'm sure Chad and Trixie just LOOOOVE their new brunch stop in Wicker though.

Re: Dundee Theater
The cycle certainly does continue. I've determined that goes like this: Blue collar/immigrant whites are replaced by African-Americans, who are replaced by Hispanics, who are priced out by white hipsters, who are priced out by yuppies and bros.Garrett wrote:The bros ruin everything in time.

Re: Dundee Theater
Anyone remember back in the early 90s when Otis 12 (DJ with Z-92, prior to Todd and Tyler) started this great campaign to save the theater? I really think it probably helped at the time and would love to see the media kind of pick up the cause again. What I think would be especially cool is UNO could go in on this either directly or via joint partnership and run it through their College of Fine Arts perhaps.
Re: Dundee Theater
Or a consortium of local groups from historic to art to community. Omaha is a power house when it come to philanthropy and given the significance I bet there's plenty of people willing to help.

Re: Dundee Theater
Really this is owner fatigue more than that the money isn't there imo at least. If a motivated person really wanted to keep this open they could start a kickstarter and it would get a ton of support.
Re: Dundee Theater
The Dundee Theater and remaining buildings on the block were just purchased by Susie Buffett. I will consider the Dundee protected at this point! Can expect good things will happen.

The Dundee Theater — which remains shuttered after closing more than two years ago for a renovation — appears headed for another chapter under a new owner.
Sources close to the situation said Susie Buffett was pursuing the purchase of the property......................
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!
Re: Dundee Theater
Alexander Payne is also playing a role in this purchase and the project will likely be tied to Film Streams.

Re: Dundee Theater
It would actually be nice for Film Streams to have a hand so these two can work together rather than compete for the limited run films. Whatever gets the reel rolling again I am for!
Re: Dundee Theater
I never got the impression they competed, it seamed they both had they're own thing going. But whatever happens they need to bring back the cult classics ASAP!

Re: Dundee Theater
I am a member as well. That is why I am frustrated by a group of people who think narrowcasting scheduled films is the way to go.

Re: Dundee Theater
No, I just joined for the discount tickets. I am cool with what I get for my money. I just don't want the Dundee to be a one screen theater that has so few general appeal movies that non-auteurs will find no reason to go there. After all, what is the difference between what is is now and what it would become if it went that way? No one uses it now and no one will use it then.

I went to the Dundee quite a bit when it was the only indie theater in town. It's ONE theater, dude. Why should you care?

Re: Dundee Theater
I probably shouldn't get involved here, especially on bigredmed's behalf since he once called me "annoying", but I think what a lot of people want from the Dundee is for it to be what it was before. It showed stuff that wouldn't necessarily be in the multiplexes (The Red Riding Trilogy, Never Let Me Go, My Dog Tulip, Shame) that weren't the type of art house movies typically shown at Film Streams. They also did midnight showings of The Room, Rocky Horror, etc. It was a nice mix of good movies and goofball fun. That's the appropriate niche for it to fill. Bergman retrospectives are great, and Film Streams does a great job with those sorts of things, but there's a place for what the Dundee was.ricko wrote:I went to the Dundee quite a bit when it was the only indie theater in town.
