I miss the Obispo. I now teach film, and I saw the movies of my youth (without knowing who Samuel Fuller and Nicholas Ray were) at the Obispo, the Fremont, and the Elmo (the Flea Bag). I wish someone would post a photograph. My mother took me to my first movie in a stroller—Fremont, house of dreams.

When the Fremont opened my mother took me to my first movie there in my stroller. I grew up in SLO, and I saw most of the movies of my youth at the Fremont, the Obispo (just down the street, now demolished), and the Elmo, long gone, known as the Flea Bag. The Fremont was the queen, full of fact and fantasy for me. For my photograph of it, see View link
