The old theatre building at the corner of Fairhope Ave and Church St was demolished last week -- contrary to the belief of a nearby business owner that it was to be restored (Bill Baldwin, Fairhope Hardware).
The building, in recent years called the Village Square before it burned about a year ago, had housed 8 shops and a pizza restaurant.
MAYOR SAID IT WOULD BE RESTORED TOO
In his State of the City address last Spring, Mayor Kant also assured worried citizens it would be restored.
Kant said then: "I talked to the owners ... they are working forward ... about restoring the building and not tearing it down."
Earlier reports indicated a breakfast restaurant and some of the original shops were to be re-located there, when restoration was completed.
John Bethea and James Reid were listed as owners (Bethea and Reid LLC).
Its unclear what is being planned there now.
