“The city has a very strong track record of turning out 10,000 to 15,000 people at all of our street parties in downtown,” Salinas said. “Clearly we see people in downtown wanting entertainment, retail and generally being part of a greater scene.” This perspective emphasizes the community's desire for vibrant downtown activities, making the movie theater a potential hub for such engagement.
“When the downtown movie theater came up for sale, the city didn't want it to end up the same. So, they bought it.” This decision reflects Hayward's initiative to take control of its downtown’s future and prevent further deterioration.
