The Scoop's on the Holly's Side

You should totally check out this post about the Holly Theater renovation by George Kramer, who's from Ashland.

The Scoop does not claim to have an in-depth understanding of the specific issues at hand. That being said, the Craterian's whole argument is bunk. Providing another entertainment venue in the collection of vacant buildings that is now downtown Medford can only be helpful. Hopefully, it really does provide affordable entertainment that lots of people feel they can spare a few bucks to take advantage of.

And beyond that, since when is "They shouldn't be allowed to open because they might put us out of business" a reasonable argument? If the Craterian (or the Holly) were to go out of business because it can't compete, that's survival of the fittest, baby. The consumer should make that decision, not some cranky board of directors that refuses to change with the times.
