I went to the
Majestic theater in Brookfield for the first time this weekend.
Nice, very nice!
Great atmosphere, neat places to eat, very clean and comfortable.
It’s been referred to as a palace, a description that’s apropos.
As I enjoyed my first experience at Majestic, I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be wonderful for the Marcus Corporation to open a facility like this in Franklin?
But then I got to thinking some more…..
That would mean three meetings in front of the Planning Commission.
And public hearings, at least two or three, where we could grill the developer over and over again.
Would there be a bike path on the property? By God, there better be.
How about plants? Got to have plants. And just the right kind of plants, and the correct amount, too. Bushes and trees and mulch as well.
I suppose there have to be those doggone…….GULP!!!.......parking spaces.
BUT NOT TOO MANY YOU UNDERSTAND! You create too many parking spaces, well, people will have to……. look at them and……..(trembling and quivering) walk on them.
To protect exposing innocent Franklinites to the evils of concrete, maybe we shouldn’t have parking spaces at all. Just set up a system where movie patrons would drive to the nearest park and ride lot, and we could just shuttle them in! That way we wouldn’t have so many people driving around in our fair community. All those cars and traffic……how nasty!
And if just one person could see the theater and/or its parking lot from their home, that’s too darn close and another site will have to be chosen.
Same holds true if someone can hear or see traffic from their backyard. Time to search for another location.
It probably would be a good idea not to have outside lights around the theater. That might be too distracting and too urban for Franklin.
Sure, a Marcus movie palace like Majestic WOULD and COULD be nice in Franklin……………………..until the Marcus Corp. decides to build somewhere else. Gee, I wonder why?
