What Should Replace the Cinedome?

Updated with reader suggestions: Should the domed 8-screen cinema be torn down or repurposed? Share your visions for downtown Napa's latest vacancy.

Napa's Cinedome 8 showed its last movie Nov. 8; the new Century multiplex opens to the public tonight.

What should happen to the domed 8-screen cinema building and its property? Tell us in the comments. 

The privately-owned property is slated for development of some kind under the City of Napa's recently-approved Downtown Specific Plan. But, said city council member Peter Mott Wednesday, the owners have not yet decided what its future might be.

So let's give them some suggestions! Almost 40 people have commented on our Facebook page — here are some of their ideas:

  • Roller rink
  • Ice rink
  • Skateboard park
  • Science center with a planetarium and a viticultural focus
  • Arcade
  • Drive-in movie theater
  • Sports bar with kids' game room and "killer food"
  • Year-round farmers market
  • Recreation center for kids with bounce houses and batting cages

Now it's your turn: Share your visions for this vacancy in our comments below, and click "Keep me posted" for automatic updates when we publish more news about this property.

Harold, What I was getting at, I also know of other events that never get posted. 18 months ago,Read More women were getting robbed at gunpoint in the parking garages downtown - no reports.

He is NOT a runaway. This kid is MISSING and his family needs police assistance to find him.

This should be at the top of news, not way down in announcements. Not everyone scrolls down. I wasRead More looking for this specifically, or i may not have seen it. More people need to see it, so the more prominently placed, the better. Help this mama get her son home. This is a missing child, not a casual announcement.

Keri, I have heard from the tech people, and my instructions were to clear cache, erase cookies,Read More reboot, etc. All things having to do with my computer, not with the website. I get the same issues on two different computers at different homes as well as my iPad that is logged on anywhere. Pretty sure it is not on my end. There are far too many things that are a step down from previous site. Examples: Can't seperate paragraphs in comments, no "reply" option on comments makes it difficult to know who is responding to whom, itty-bitty profile avatars smaller than a pea, green on everything makes features less distinguishable, on and on.

Hi USS and MW The tech people are making fixes every day. If you can give me specific bugs, withRead More links, please do so so that I can let them know. Thanks for your patience....

Chamber of commerce is nothing more than a group of people that practice un fare labor for bigRead More business.Wake up and Unionize or you will be nothing more than a slave to big business.The chamber of commerce is a Rat Ship vessel for corporate greed.

Why do the Hispanics need their own Chamber Of Commerce? Asians, African-Americans, Caucasians,Read More Indians, and all other races use the same Chamber Of Commerce in unity. The Hispanics are welcome to use it as well. Unless they're promoting their own race above others in the business community. Naw, they wouldn't do anything racist like that, would they?
