The Brooklyn Heights Cinema may relocate to Dumbo for 18 months while its landmarked building at 70 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights gets an addition for luxury condos. Kenn Lowy, who owns the building as well as the theater — and also sits on the local community board — told the Brooklyn Paper he plans to raise $20,000 through an online crowdsourcing funding site to finance the move and upgrade with leased digital projectors. Lowy is looking for any suitable space in the area. The cinema opened in 1971, and Lowry bought the building it in 2011.

it’s amazing how a rich person that lives in the greatest neighborhood on earth (right, minard?) is gonna depend on donations to fund his hobby.
It’s a case of: Rich taking from the common folk to get richer
LOL that this guy doesn’t have 20K. I guess he take out a loan????
^^^I guess he *can’t* take out a loan????
The BK Paper article is poorly written, but Cate, you’ve mistated the facts. Lowy owns the movie business operating in the building; someone else owns the building itself (and that other guy is the one with the condo proposal).
I was going to write the exact same thing. It’s really offensive.
