I am shocked and disappointed that the owners of the NuWilshire are considering selling the property for use as a retail store (“Time to roll credits,” July 5). Santa Monica has been blessed by having two theaters (Laemmle and NuWilshire) that show high-class films. The loss of one of them will be a cultural loss to our community and to the many visitors who come here to enjoy our fine city.
I hope that this loss does not come about, and would appreciate any ideas for how to make a case for retaining the theater for our community.
