Aired 4/14/14 on KPBS News.

KPBS arts reporter Beth Accomando spoke with Landmark president Ted Mundorff.

Transcript

Landmark Theatres has confirmed that it will cease to run the Ken Cinema at the end of the month. But Barry Green, whose family has owned the theater for decades, said that does not mean the Ken Cinema will close as a movie venue.

The Latest

There seems to be a little of what Strother Martin (in Cool Hand Luke with Paul Newman) described as a failure to communicate surrounding the Ken Cinema.

I have been speaking individually with the three parties involved Landmark Theatres, Torrey Pines Property Management and members of the Berkun Trust that own the building and at times I feel like they all need to sit down in one room to talk.

Heres some new information: Chip Crandall, owner of Torrey Pines Property Management, said in 2009 "the rent was reduced for Landmark to $2,100 a month, thats below a $1-a-square-foot, thats a sweet deal. But between 2009 and 2014, Landmark didnt take any initiative to improve the theater and we want someone who will bring life into theater.

Torrey Pines also manages the two restaurants that share the block with the Ken Cinema, properties that have seen a lot of visible improvements. Both Crandall and Barry Green, one of the Berkun Trust members, noted that they were disappointed that Landmark did not do more to fix up the space.

Its been a slow spiral down under Landmarks care," Green said. "It doesnt look like theyve been keeping it up.

Duro-Guard XPS Hybrid Fan Fold 48 x 50 XPS 3/8 is manufactured with a rigid extruded polystyrene core and wrapped with tough facers which create a durable water resistant board. XPS is highly resistant to heat flow and moisture penetration. This Duro-Last exclusive product comes with a film facer that is compatible with all roof membranes offered by Duro-Last. Duro-Guard XPS Hybrid Fan Fold incorporates a combination of both crush and cut fold methods. Each fold in the hybrid product is precisely cut to allow the board to lay flat and also contains a section that is crushed, which provides the product with the strength desired for installation in windy applications. Duro-Guard XPS Hybrid Fan Fold is for use with mechanically attached roof systems.

Duro-Guard XPS Hybrid Fan Fold is specifically designed for use as a recover board over granulated or smooth cap sheets; smooth built up roof systems, aggregate surfaced built up roofs (3/8 aggregate, max), aged coal tar pitch roofs and single-ply membranes. The advantage of using the Duro-Guard XPS Hybrid Fan Fold is the XPS board lays flat for a smooth appearance while the hybrid fold provides the product with the desired strength.

Greeley will soon be home to Colorados largest piece of a popular East Coast burger franchise.

Steak n Shake is coming to Centerplace shopping center, with construction starting next week.

Some would call it the In and Out Burger of the East Coast.

Its a very popular restaurant. Ive built three of them and there are lines out the door, said Brian Fine, of Fine Builders, which will build the new Greeley location, directly south of Best Buy with frontage along the U.S. 34 Bypass.

The fast-food restaurant is part of a growing wave of development at Centerplace, which kicked into a higher gear this year with the opening of Tokyo Joes and Village Inn taking over the old TGI Fridays location, in addition to new construction of Ulta Salon and Beauty store, set to go right next door to the Steak n Shake. There are only two more lots left, both east of Ulta, that can develop the third phase, said Carlin Barkeen, a planner with the city of Greeley.

This is in addition to the construction going on south of the main shopping center with the additions of Panera, Chick-fil-A, and the forthcoming Homewood Suites by Hilton.

Steak n Shake, founded in 1934 in Indiana, has about 500 restaurants peppered throughout the Midwest and Eastern seaboard. It has been slow to franchise out West, with only a handful west of Kansas. It boasts several varieties of steakburgers and fries, shakes and sundaes, and breakfast items.

Fine said at 3,750 square feet, the Greeley Steak n Shake will be the largest in Colorado (about 400 square feet larger in the kitchen area). There are already three such restaurants in the state two in Denver and one in Colorado Springs.

Fine said the franchiser of the Greeley restaurant, which he would not name, also has been looking at locations in Loveland and Fort Collins, but the Greeley site became available first.

They are exploring property in all of that northern Colorado area, Fine said. It was just hard to find. This was the first that came available and accessible.

PERU B-K West is more than just a drive-in restaurant to its owner, J.D. Hann. Its a piece of his childhood, a historic Peru landmark, and its his baby.

I grew up with this place, the 57-year-old Peru native said. We used to walk the tracks on Saturday and come here and drink root-beer floats back when they were a quarter. Its always been a part of me.

Thats why it hurt so bad when a EF-1 twister tore through the eatery known for its hot dogs, hamburgers and floats back in July.

The powerful storm turned the steel drive-in canopy into a twisted piece of rubble and smashed an employees truck into a fence.

The building that housed the kitchen also sustained damage. Thats where the six girls working at the time hid during the tornados fury.

The girls went into the bathroom, Hann said. They were diving for the floor. It was horrifying. But nobody got hurt, and thats the main thing.

After the storm, clean-up workers found parts of the canopy two miles away, laying on the municipal golf course.

The destruction was devastating to Hann, whos owned the 64-year-old restaurant for the last 12 years.

And now that its being rebuilt, the part of Hann that was crushed when his restaurant crumbled is being restored.

Construction on the new canopy started earlier this month, and the restaurant thats normally open from March to October should be serving up its iconic drive-in food by the end of the month, Hann said.
