Robert "Breaking News" Wilonksy has been running some pretty stellar coverage of the Lakewood Theater re-do, getting scoop right and left. He just shared a juicy tidbit about the space's would-be operators, and it's something straight out of our moviegoing dreams.

Today we found out that the other potential tenant is Aviation Cinemas — you know, the Texas Theatre guys. That means Dallas would have another art house cinema haven.

We just wanted to share our potential excitement.
