Our Capitol Theater says NO on 1!

Richard Fraiman is the owner of the Capitol Theater.

Like so many ballot questions, framed in an ironic inversion of speech, your NO actually means YES.

We want a resounding NO tomorrow in order to say YES  to moving forward with the Mass. Ave. improvement project.

We need you, our valued patrons, to arrive safely at The Capitol Theatre to enjoy your movie, ice cream, popcorn and/or a beer.

That means new crosswalks, traffic signals, clearly marked lanes, and changing Mass. Ave. from a speedway into a calm thoroughfare.

And East Arlington could certainly use the facelift of widened sidewalks, plantings, and a more people-friendly setting.

This is a no-brainer and, thankfully, there are so many that have contributed their expertise, time, and effort to make this necessary project happen.
