Small towns rescuing, restoring movie theaters

Work is done on the marquis of the Webster Theater, Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014, in Webster City, Iowa. 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. Instead, residents rallied. They held public meetings, hashed out volunteer work and launched a fundraising campaign. More than $200,000 later, the theater reopened.
