It's nice to see the Silco Theater finally open for business. It's way too early for any high fives, though, as the success of the project won't be known for some months.

Lots of "Silcos" went out of business years ago because they couldn't compete with black-and-white television. Now? Oh, my.

I would not be surprised to see the theater down to only weekends by the end of next summer and closing its doors within a year unless supported by the city, i.e. by our taxes.

I hope I'm wrong. I thought video games were a fad and that nobody had any time for Facebook, to name a couple of my calls that didn't work out too well. Silco, too?
