The Roxy, <http://www.roxytheaternorthampton.com/> about 20 miles from me in PA, apparently has done well enough in the last few years that they were able to join a co-op like the AP article mentioned. Among their upcoming shows is the controversy-soiled *The Dark Knight Rises*, which ISTR has yet to be video'd. Same might be so of Shankweiler's<http://www.shankweilers.com/>, slightly further out and America's oldest drive-in, tho they don't open after Labo(u)r Day. I'll bet the Boyd, <http://www.theboyd.com/> a few miles closer, likely remains inactive for that exact lack of options. -- BOB -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
