save the fillmore
after an invitation to join the "Save The Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theater," group on facebook I've been meaning to do some investigation and here's what I've dug up.
There's a plan to demolish the Fillmore theater, one of the few historic buildings still being put to good use in Miami, that hasn't been torn down in place of a skyscraper for Northeners to come invade Sunnyland. The Fillmore has hosted like, basically everyone, (most recently Passion Pit last week) since the 50's when it first housed the Jackie Gleason show. The plan is to add (yet another) convention center hotel to the Lincoln Road area. But, it isn't happening with out a pretty decent amount of uproar. If you are looking to sign a petiton, voice some discontent, or just whine about heartless developers check out the facebook group.
