It needs to be an event space where they can have concerts, movies, plays, and wedding receptions. But you and I both know Drinx is gonna buy it up and turn it into DrinXXX.
I just have a hard time imagining Manhattan supporting some single screen indie theater or a music venue that holds 800 with any regularity. It would have to be mostly used as event space
I don't think it would hold that many. Liberty hall is like 400 or maybe less.
But you're probably right. Lawrence concerts draw heavily from joco/topeka being 30 minutes away.
MHK really needs an indie theater tho
