It's about time some one from the city council spills the beans on Kyle. Thanks for posting. Yes, let's spill the beans on the Mitchells. Aren't you the person who had the travelling mechanic business, who took a vehicle apart, but couldn't fix it, broke the ignition key, and didn't replace it, but I still paid what you asked for for your time? Didn't my wife loan your wife $10 one day for a prescription for your son? Didn't my wife give your daughter a name brand pair of sweat pants on a previous cruise night so that she wasn't freezing?

Hey Kyle why did you leave Arizona is law enforcement looking for you? No, I left Arizona at Tim's and Katie's urging to come open up the Majestic. Too bad that the conditions in Streator don't allow for a business like that to exist, don't you think?

Hey Kyle why did you leave Arizona is law enforcement looking for you? What's wrong, your attempt at trying to make people think that I took donations didn't pan out for you so now you want to try to make people think that I am wanted by Arizona law enforcement? I was there in April and filed a report with Phoenix Police Department about some scrappers stealing some of my 35mm projection equipment. They took all of my personal information, but did not arrest me. I even gave them my phone number; all they would have to do is just call me if they were looking for me. It has already been identified where I am working and I said that I'll be at Flips on Wednesday, feel free to call the Arizona authorities and tell them where I am.

Hey Kyle why did you leave Arizona is law enforcement looking for you? No, I left Arizona at Tim's and Katie's urging to come open up the Majestic. Too bad that the conditions in Streator don't allow for a business like that to exist, don't you think? I thought you left Arizona because your business had failed and you didn't have a job. At least, that what the media reported in Arizona. Kyle Mitchell, owner of Movies at the Mall, told the City Council last week that this December would be the last for his business. Mitchell said it was competition with the largest family-owned theater chain in the country, Harkins Theatres, over who would show future blockbusters as his primary reason he would be closing his doors. He said his business could not succeed when top-tier movies were always awarded to Harkins, especially when some were never shown on the 11 Harkins screens here in Flagstaff. This relegates Mitchell to showing documentaries and art house movies, which are less profitable. Mitchell said his current lease with Westcor, owners of the Flagstaff Mall, would not be renewed and said a conversation with Westcor executives suggested Harkins was likely to get a second location in Flagstaff near the mall. Lori Pappas, a spokesperson for the Flagstaff Mall, confirmed Mitchell's lease would end in December. But she said Westcor is in discussions with several major movie theater chains about the planned movie theater at new Village at Flagstaff Mall. Mitchell said he had filed a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General's office against Harkins, but this could not be independently confirmed through the attorney general's office. A spokesperson for Harkins was not available to respond to Mitchell's allegations, which he said concerned unfair business practices. Even if Mitchell could secure a new, inexpensive location for his theater locally, he said it was unlikely he would return to showing movies in Flagstaff. Mitchell said a lack of location was not the reason he was closing his doors, alleging the competition with Harkins made it impossible for his business to be profitable in the long-term. Local investors who spent $150,000 fixing up the mall theater with new carpet and curtains and new projectors are going to lose a large portion of their investment, Mitchell said. He said a portion could recovered as he sells off some of the assets like the projector, but he guessed he could only raise a few thousand dollars from the sales. He said 16 people would lose their jobs when Movies at the Mall closes in December. Mitchell sighed as he thought about his family's future, saying, "We will be part of the population here in Flagstaff who can't afford a home."

I thought you left Arizona because your business had failed and you didn't have a job. At least, that what the media reported in Arizona. Is that what the media reported? I didn't see where the article that you posted even talked about my leaving the state, much less giving a reason; it seems to just be more of your lies. Is lying just part of being an attorney? Our Flagstaff business didn't fail. Our competition and the film companies failed to follow the laws as to how films are supposed to be booked, controlling the market and keeping us from having product regardless of whether the other theatre ever played it or not. I was told by theatre industry consultants that it was wrong but would take at least $1,000,000 of feeding some attorneys to correct the problem that keeps movie-goers from enjoying the benefits of open competition. Flagstaff is still left with only their last choice of theatres to attend and a limited selection of product, despite it being a very strong market. Not that any of that matters though. It is all just a distraction from the real issues here. It doesn't matter if my business ventures in the past were successful or not; none of that has had anything to do with why Streator is in the condition it is or the things that our City does. It hasn't been me running the City of Streator. We have leaders who are responsible for turning away business and allowing the activities that support Streator's rough reputation, keeping many people and their money away, keeping us from being able to have a business like the unique movie palace that is boarded up. Those problems still exist and hurt our community regardless of what I have done. We need new leaders, ones who have solutions to the problems, who are inviting to business, and who honor the rights of the citizens. JMHIO.

It seems as if everybody you deal with fail to follow the laws. Is that how you see them or how they've held up in court cases? Certainly somebody in that industry has filed suit against the big people and won in court to substantiate your claims. I think your past history has proven that you can't get along, so you get along. Keep moving, the further the better.
I never said anybody on the council thought you were living in the Majestic. I suggested to the inspectors to turn their heads to help you, not hurt you. How long had you been living upstairs above the store did we change the ordinance? Had to be at least 3 years or so. Nobody held anything against you and you know it. You've got a ready excuse for anything that comes your way. That's one thing you are really good at. You wanted new people on the council, three of them. They're doing the best they can, but that still isn't good enough for you. You're are a first class jerk.

You wanted new people on the council, three of them. They're doing the best they can, but that still isn't good enough for you. You're are a first class jerk. Yes, there is a Supreme Court decision, called the Paramount Decrees that says that films are to be booked based on the merits of individual theatres, not based on how many theatres the company owns. Here is an example of how the law is not followed. Northpoint and the rest of Danny Roger's theatres were booked by Wehrenberg, a big company out of St. Louis with many large theatre complexes. They booked at least two new movies in the theatre with only 100 seat auditoriums most every week. When we were opening the Majestic we sent the film companies a detailed description of what the Majestic had to offer, including the 550 seating capacity and the 230 seating capacity of the small house. After a relatively small film like Hairspray brought in close to 200 people on Friday night and over 230 people on Sunday night of opening weekend, clearly doing much more business than the big summer blockbusters at the chain theatre, the film companies should have recognized the consumer choice and grossing potential of the movie palace and played their biggest films at the Majestic, but we were continually told no on many films. When the chain theatre did close, Hollywood suddenly didn't have enough prints of many of their releases to cover Streator. Obviously they are not booked based on the merits of the individual theatres like the Supreme court dictated they should. Are you still having trouble telling the truth? I think you did say that someone on the Council thought that I was living at the Majestic. A long time ago, the fire chief and another inspector informed me that when you opened the Majestic, upon inspecting the building, they found made mattresses, bedding and blankets for your family behind one of the screens on the stage. It was pretty obvious to them that you and your family were sleeping there at night. As a member of the council they asked for advice. Mine was to ignore it. My reasoning was simple, you were new to the community trying to make a go of it, and spending money to heat two places couldn't be easy. There was no justification to allow it, but I turned my head to help you out. Until now, I've never spoke up about the incident. Turning my head for you sure didn't help me any did it? I just wasn't wise enough to see through you at that time. Isn't that you saying that you thought that I was living at the Majestic, but that you looked the other way? If you didn't think that I was living there why would you need to turn your head? Weren't you on the Council? I wish you could just be truthful. Are you expecting me to believe that you didn't tell your Council cronies about it or the rest of our City's leadership wasn't consulted with the inspectors' dilemma of what to do about their suspicions. Yes I did live on the second floor of my building for years after you approved the Comprehensive Plan that recommends it without telling people that it is illegal without a Special Use Permit. Wasn't that some irresponsible governing? Obviously the City held something against me, considering that I was not given any due process before being publicly declared illegal for living there, even though by that time with the store opened, I was not. I'm sure that you probably read the Accessory Use clause, but only after the fact like the rest of our City's administration. Maybe it would be a good idea to at least read the laws before publicly declaring people illegal, don't you think? So what if there are three new people on the council? Other than faces, what has changed? I haven't heard them talk about any action or a plan to do anything about the problems that you admit were not resolv,ed and do hurt businesses like the boarded up movie palace. It is still illegal to participate in a sidewalk sale without a Special Use Permit, isn't it? That has got to be one biggest examples of unfriendly business attitude that I have ever seen. Just because there are different faces up there doesn't mean that anything is being done differently. I Haven't seen any real change. So no, it is not good enough for me. You're are a first class jerk. When all else fails, just resort to name calling. It comes across as pretty immature and really shows your character, but doesn't really add much substance to the conversation. JMHIO

Name calling. After all the years I heard you call us names it kind of feels good to vent out. Jerk as opposed to being called corrupt, I probably have to go some to even the score with you.

Gosh that's a pretty bad run of luck. Scrappers stealing a projector in Arizona, and now scrappers stealing A/C parts in Kentucky. That run of bad luck seems to be following Kyle. Too bad cameras didn't catch all the action. A very interesting post. I hope they catch the thieves.

Name calling. After all the years I heard you call us names it kind of feels good to vent out. Jerk as opposed to being called corrupt, I probably have to go some to even the score with you. Did I call you corrupt? I remember stating my opinion that some of the things our City has done is corrupt, but not calling you corrupt. I remember saying that I think denying my First Amendment rights by not allowing the use of City Park based on the subject matter to be discussed is corrupt. I remember saying that I think publicly declaring us illegal residents without providing us due process(or apparently even reading our laws) is corrupt I also remember saying that I feel that stopping a business by giving a requirement that goes against our laws is corrupt. Since you couldn't even remember where you had read that the City recommended people living downtown, I am thinking it is either your memory problem or truth problem that makes you think that I called you corrupt. Unless of course you can post where I did call you corrupt. After seeing me denied use of City Park to hear ideas to clean up our community and its image so that we could have more businesses like an open movie palace instead of a boarded up one, after seeing us be publicly declared illegal residents when we weren't, after seeing our business venture stopped by a requirement that does not follow our laws, I wouldn't think that you would feel that you have a score to even with me just for talking about it. That vindictive retaliation attitude that some of our other City leaders have also displayed against citizens for talking about the job that our elected officials are responsible for, is why I believe that we just need new leaders at City Hall. Go ahead and keep calling me names if it makes you feel better about "the score" between leaders of our community and an insignificant citizen, or do you consider serf a more appropriate term to describe living here? Either way, I feel it is the residents who end up being the losers of that attitude, regardless of what you think the score may be.

I think that Kyle needs not to worry about Streator and it's leadership due to his family has moved on to another venture. Kyle is no longer a part of the community and should no longer worry about the leadership of this community.

Kyle is no longer a part of the community and should no longer worry about the leadership of this community. Well you just go ahead and think that if you want to. There are a lot of people who have to travel outside of Streator for work. If that makes people not a part of the community in your opinion, then so be it. However, You don't really believe that working some place else takes away anyone's First Amendment rights, or do you share an altered version of the Constitution with our Mayor?
