Our own Fitzgerald Theater is in the running for a historic preservation grant from Partners in Preservation from American Express. And it's being run in a fairly interesting and competitive way.
They're taking votes on Facebook. You have to "like" their page in order to get access to the voting. You can vote every day through October 12, 2011.
The popular vote winner will get $125,000. If the Fitz wins, they'll be able to restore and repaint the ornate plaster ceiling and trim in the lobby and theater; repair the balcony railings and update directional signage.
