Brown, Robbie. “An Uneasy Reversal of Roles for Theater and Its Caretaker.” The New York Times. The New York Times, 11 Sept. 2010. Web. 25 Mar. 2016. <http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/12/us/12atlanta.html?_r=0>.

This article is about the debate that was stirred up when the board of directors for the fox theater, a famous and historical building in Atlanta, Georgia, decided it would be best for Joe Patten to move out of the theater and instead settle down in a nursing home of some sort. The article explains that Joe has been living in the Theater as its sole resident, arranged as a reward for saving the theater from being torn down in the 1970’s and saving it again in 1996 from a fire. Joe, who is now 83, has been experiencing the poor health characteristic of the elderly and so the board of directors now doubts his ability to take care of himself. This opinion has caused a backlash among the public and has created a polarizing debate. Many believe that Joe should be allowed to live in the building until his death as he desires. Others think that the best thing to be done for Joe is to move him to a place where he can have care. Still others question the motives of the directors in this, considering the value of the apartment in which Joe stays.
