Back to the future

This sign is a manifest for that what "Can do!" attitude means. This is an old and highly appreciated movie theater here in Lappeenranta, which was firstly bought by international movie theater company and secondly company rolled down the theater after two months. Company brutally decommished the name sign and historically valuable interior of the theater. Locals got really pissed off about that kind of maneuver and group of local people with "Can do!" attitude organized a movement to get a new life in theater premises. On one year they manage to get funding to make the dream come true and now the theater is turned to multi cultural room and it will have it's official opening on next weekend 7.9.- 8.9.2018.

Original owners of the movie theater found the old sign from their  cowhouse behind hay bales, where it was stored 20 years ago. Today it was set back in place and therefore deserves place in my blip.
