This is apparent all over the city, from the monuments created, to the special events
and days acknowledged. Downtown Benton is so beautiful and it gives us a glimpse into its past. Every day this country is changing. People
are forgetting the important aspects of our past and only thinking about the future and what it can do for them. We do not believe Benton has succumbed to this. For this, among many other reasons, the city of Benton is special. We are
growing…striving. The atmosphere around downtown Benton brings you back to your roots, realizing fond memories and people love that! It lets us remember how we grew up and in that, it takes us home. That is
why we love this city so much! The Palace Theater represents this wonderful feeling! We can't let Benton turn into a town that forgets
its beginning and neglects the reminders we still have from that. The Palace Theater is so much more than an empty building; it's memory;
it’s home. And given the chance to save it, great things can become of it!
