roman, I understand they have "scrappers", in town. Do you think they could steal anything from honest folk? If so, I bet they need to look into their law enforcement officials and perhaps local government to solve that problem. g

So do tell us though, what's Hopkinsville's policy on chickens, just out of curiosity? And KYLE, I just have to ask here, how do or did you leave things with people who have consignment items in your downtown building for sale when no one is there to run this business? I know your practice there was to sell items for clients and then they in-turn would receive store credit, correct? Now, if I am wrong regarding how Flip's was run, then please do correct me here. But, if I was a client who had items in your shop for sale and you all up locked the doors, and closed shop...I'd be highly PO'ed, just sayin? M

it use to be legal to own up to 5 laying hens but you had to have a half acre of land to let them roam but no crowing birds at all. over time the laws have been changed in the bigger communities. at one time goats were allowed to be owned because they were the lawnmowers down there.

Thanks DIVE...I was worried about the chickens, which I found my answer on KYLE'S BLOG thread...but thank you though!! Hopefully the poor things do all have a great new home, and not uptown .... BUT on a farm where they can run free, as they should be. M

The merchandise in your store front windows is fading from the sun, sorry...but it really is. HOW did you up and leave town with merchandise on consignment from your customers left in your store ? M

Evidently Flips, or the folks they dealt with are not much of a priority. I am sure Kyle will make good for all the folks that actually want to come by and pick up their property, or redeem credit sometime when they are back in town. Right Kyle? I think Kyle posted somewhere that he was going to be open yesterday. When I went to Ace I saw a red pickup at the side entrance to Flips. It was loaded with stuff, so I figured people were getting their stuff. I think if people have merchandise or a credit owed to them, Kyle will make it right with them.

Since there is major cost now to bring the movie theater building up to code,just wondering if the current owners will bring it up to code,or leave that to the new owners that may buy it to fix it up to code. I am wondering if ace might buy it, demolish the building to expand their parking lot?

I am wondering if ace might buy it, demolish the building to expand their parking lot? Nobody is going to buy that building, unless he comes to his senses regarding price, and to be honest, very few people would work hard and take a chance on such a fickle business. In all reality, the building will likely sit until it is in such bad shape it will have to be demolished......

But, if I was a client who had items in your shop for sale and you all up locked the doors, and closed shop...I'd be highly PO'ed, just sayin? M KYLE..........are you avoiding my question here? The merchandise in your store front windows is fading from the sun, sorry...but it really is. HOW did you up and leave town with merchandise on consignment from your customers left in your store ? M Sorry M, I've been busy is why I haven't responded, but really, when have I ever avoided answering anyone's questions attacks? I had just responded a few days ago to a very similar attack on another thread. After I responded to that attack, they then tried to claim that I was wanted by law enforcement in another state. I wonder what it will be with you. It wasn't really a question that you wanted answered, just an attack against me for talking about your hero, Tim, correct? You haven't consigned anything and felt cheated, right? The way that the store is run doesn't even effect you, does it? Yet you are highly PO'ed anyway, correct? Not that it really matters to you, but here is an explanation for how the consignors have been dealt with: New consignments were no taken for a while prior to the reduced hours. All of the cash consignment accounts have been arranged to be picked up. One trusted consignor was even given a key to the store to get their items at their leisure and has left them there to still attempt to sell when we do open. The in-store credit consignors entered into an agreement giving Flips complete control over ownership of their items, but with the reduced hours have been allowed extra ways to use their credit compared to in the past and have been offered their consignment items that may be on the shelves back, upon verification. I don't think anyone has taken us up on the offer of taking their items back though. Yesterday one woman came in to inquire about jeans that she had on consignment, but decided to just leave them on the rack and come in to spend her existing credit the next time the store opens. It has been advertised for months that we will post on facebook when we are going to open. We have gotten a few inquires about items they see in the windows, but no upset consignors. We are offering the inventory with a lease of the store if the new business owners are going to do the same type of business and will also continue to honor the credit on those types of items. The store is not closed and all locked up. It was open for four hours yesterday and will be open again in the future. A lot of people stopped in to say hello and support us. If you Like the Flips Facebook page, you should get notification of when it will open next. We didn't just up and leave town, we still live there part time now, but are working on a project in Kentucky now. We'll be back though. I'm sorry if some of the clothes in the window look faded to you. We try to use only clothes that are not subject to consignor credit for those displays, items that are 100% Flips. Cindy looked at them and didn't think they were very faded, knew how many other things we had to do now, and knew that on the next trip she wanted to change them to winter apparel, so we left them. Aren't looking at some slightly faded clothes a lot better than looking at the plywood on the front of the Majestic? Taking low value consignments to provide a service for four years and then phasing the operation down while still trying to provide some value and service to those who supported the business is a lot different and not near as bad as boarding a place up just a short time after soliciting and receiving $130,000.00 in donations from the public under the ruse of providing the community with motion picture entertainment, don't you think? I know that there are quite a few people highly PO'ed about your hero boarding the Majestic up after taking their donations and selling them gift certificates and then not giving them any value at all. When you were a kid and your dad bought the theatre, did you ever take a nap there? Maybe you had better not answer that question, or our City leaders could secretly convict you of some crime that isn't listed in our ordinances and then hold a grudge against you for years for it feeling that you owe them something for supposedly turning their head and then use it to try to retaliate against you, if you talk about what they do. I know that it seems very wrong here in America, but that is how our City operates and why we really do need change here. I really doubt that the place will ever sell(certainly not for anywhere near his asking price) or will ever be open for movies again. People's money spent to support it's future is most likely just wasted away along with all that I put into the former movie palace. Maybe now that the place is dead Tim will sign all those legal forms you have for you to hunt ghosts and spirits there. Be careful though that no roofs fall in on you or you don't breathe anything that might cause mesothelioma, to keep from becoming one of those to be hunted there. Your hero Tim sure did kill the place didn't he? RIP Majestic.
