No more Studio 28

Not many multiplexes are worth a moment's notice, but for seven years Grand Rapids' Studio 28 was THE multiplex, the largest in the world with 20 screens (the '28' comes from 28th Street). Tonight was its last night; falling attendance doing it in as it's dropped 75% since its '96 peak of 1.7 million.

Odd to think that pretty much the only theater we attended while in college could be mostly empty, and not sure why attendance plummeted there worse than elsewhere.
