Performing Arts Centers[edit]

The Fox Theater on Grand Avenue is not a performing arts center. It is a large movie palace, restored, and presenting live shows and concerts. The owners of the Fox and the powerful and influential in St. Louis have tried to 'eliminate' Kiel Opera House downtown, a true historic performing arts center, since the mid to late 90s. Those attacks were beaten back. Kiel Opera House is undergoing restoration toward a Fall re-opening and is needed to bolster a failing downtown. It has already contributed by attracting the name 'Peabody'. The re-naming was a component or factor in Peabody Energy's deciding to remain Downtown.

While sympathetic to what you are saying, I have to point out that Wikipedia is not for any kind of advocacy (see WP:NOT). Yes, big business has done various bad things, but articles here have to present information as reported in reliable sources. Further, information must be due (for example, an editor cannot use personal knowledge to add information about some other arts center unless using a reliable source that makes the connection between the added information and the topic of this article. When doing your signature, you need to hold down the Shift key while pressing the tilde key. Johnuniq (talk) 04:07, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
