Veteran Toronto club owner Rony Hitti has signed a 20 year lease on the theatre building and committed $10,000,000 to a reno/restoration.
Suggestion is bringing back an actual theatre/concert space for 1,000 plus 2 on-site restos seating another 400.
Some of his ideas would mess w/the history of the place while others would bring it back, what actually comes to fruition is TBD.
