Owner halts theater GoFundMe

Since 1947, the Inwood Theater on Lovers Lane has been providing entertainment and cinematic culture to the area with movies both big and small.

Growing up close by, I recall being wowed by Tron , blown away by a reissue of 2001: A Space Odyssey , and standing in line to see The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.
