@nkulw There are some good small weirdo-theater / film things, though, but they're scattered and come and go. The antique store that used to have weekly out-there film screenings is no more, but this article makes it seem like Ross Wilbanks is still up to stuff https://t.co/E8hVGV4UAK

Because @tonydokoupil showed his ass with this staggeringly racist diatribe, Coates’ message has now been viewed 26 million times.
