Thank you to Rob and Tim of Vagnieres and Associates

We would like to extend a BIG thank you to Rob Vagnieres and Tim Condos of Rob Vagnieres and Associates. Rob and Tim are our architectural angels! They have taken my concept drawings (and added another version of my design as an alternate) and created some great preliminary drawings of our ideal design for the Ramova.

While we do not oppose re-development of the Ramova (as long as the architectural details and feel of the space are preserved), we would really like to see the theater maintained in a mixed-use capacity. We will bring the plans to our next meeting for you all to see.

Thanks again for your time and consideration!
Maureen- (and Rob W.)

P.S. If anyone needs are really great architect, please see: www.vagnieresarchitects.com

We FINALLY went inside the Ramova!

I am happy to report that we have finally gone inside the Ramova. Yesterday afternoon, April 12th, Rob our Communications Director, Alderman Balcer, John Molloy from DPD and myself went for a tour of the Ramova.

The old girl has definitely sustained some severe damage and it will take a lot of funds to restore it to the condition that the City would like to see it in, but with that said, we are very hopeful. There is a lot of detail left, especially in the lobby, so it still feels like the Ramova I know and love! I have a lot of pictures and will bring them all to the next meeting.

Alderman Balcer even said that it was bringing back very happy memories for him of his days going there with his dad(it's his first time inside since the mid 70's!).

We will be having a meeting in the next few weeks (I will announce a date sometime next week)and we will show you the pictures we took of her and share all of our details when we meet again.

More to follow,
Maureen-

Thanks for your support!

I'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Ray from Catchers' at 901 W. 35th St. for supporting STR. Ray has not only added our battle cry "Save The Ramova" to his outdoor signage , but he now has 2 of our banners hanging in his bar.

Catchers' is a favorite hang out of Sox fans and our motto can now be seen by all of the cars headed east on 35th to Sox Park and inside this lively bar. This is really a great opportunity for our group. We really appreciate your help Ray.
