Entertainment Center for Oxnard
- Share via
* Regarding the downtown Oxnard entertainment center, City Councilman Dean Maulhardt has been quoted saying, “If you build it they will come.”
Maulhardt should be reminded that that phrase came from a movie about ghosts. I think of the phrase as the seven deadly words of redevelopment, or seven little words that can bankrupt anyone.
I think, after the hype, all of the seats in a downtown Oxnard theater may be occupied by invisible creatures like ghosts. But will they buy tickets and eat popcorn?
