Small towns rescuing, restoring movie theaters
WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (AP) -- When the historic downtown movie theater in Webster City, Iowa, went bankrupt and shut down last year, some wondered whether it was further proof of the small town's demise after a factory closure put hundreds out of work.
"This community, not more than a year ago, was labeled as done. Shut the lights off -- we're done," said theater volunteer Jake Pulis, recalling concerns after the appliance plant closed in the central Iowa town.
