Day three of the Westmont Marquee

On Friday the construction company removed the roof top on the marquee. Now you can look straight up and see the 2n story windows. More info and photos to follow…

There SHE blows…

The weather this weekend took a toll on the Westmont Theatre, especially on the marquee. The high winds caused some of the facade siding and marquee “undercarriage” ceiling to fall down.

The fencing contained the falling debris and kept the winds from taking it down the street…or across Haddon Ave.

It’s quite clear that marquee facade is getting weaker and weaker. Hopefully, the RFP’s will come in with some good suggestions for the theatre and her marquee.

Demolition bids for the Marquee go out

 The Township sent out requests for demolition bids for the theatre’s marquee.

The bids will be read aloud on Friday February 15th at 11:00AM at the township building.

The township should also put a request out for restoration bids. That way they can compare the cost of demolition vs. restoration in regards to the Haddon Ave. landmark sign
