Elm Street (ex-Jimmy Tingle) theatre reopening

[ron_newman]

According to the print edition of yesterday's Somerville News, the owners of the 255 Elm Street building have obtained an entertainment license to reopen the former Jimmy Tingle theatre. The article is not online and does not provide much detail.

The News article says that the owners' names are Robert and Micah Goren, but the sign on the front says GORIN BUILDING.

Perhaps somebody should ping new_man and ask him about it?

Last I heard, the Boston Babydolls had expressed interest in purchasing it.

This sounds more like the landlords deciding to get into the theatre business themselves after failing to (or deciding not to) find a tenant.

If that's true, I wonder what happened to all the money that guy raised... hmm.

Hi, kpht. If you become a member of the davis_square community, you will not have to confirm that you are a human. We were being plagued by spambots and had to add this as protection. See this davis_meta post for a fuller explanation.

Screw it, who are the landlords? I'm just going to call them and ask.

[ron_newman]

I edited my post to add that information. They did not return calls from the Somerville News reporter.

Ah, that part I missed. Never mind then, a journalist has more authority than a private citizen.

[ron_newman]

No, please do go ahead and try to talk to them. They may just have not been around on the day that George Hassett called them.

I'll consider it. Also, keep an eye on davis_snark, something we both want gone seems to be coming back from the dead.

[ron_newman]

Edited again; I'm wondering if the writer got the landlords' name wrong.

I'm curious......what money that what guy raised are you wondering about?

[kpht.livejournal.com]

new_man was selling "shares" of his business, which was to open in the jimmy tingle space.. i'm not sure how much he raised or who, if anyone, from here was involved, nor what paperwork was involved.

[new-man.livejournal.com]

Not that it's anyone's business except mine and the investors, but all the money that was raised was returned once the landlords made it clear they weren't going to rent it to me.
