They're tearing down the Uptown???? Noooooo!!! I don't live in Toronto anymore, but this must be stopped! :(

Like geez, they need more Condos?

They're closing it down becuase it isn't wheelchair accessible. Some disabled group took them to court over that fact, leading to the closure of this and two other classic Toronto cinemas. Guess the Varsity Theatres right next door weren't good enough.

The condo plan came AFTER the decision to close the theatre. They are talking about restoring the Yonge Street facade to its original glory as part of the plan.

Goodbye Uptown. You will be missed.
