Does anyone have any interior photos of the Strand/Fisher original? It was quite grand as my childhood memory serves. That movie, “The Majestic” reminds me of it. One of a few others I was a patron of included Ventura, California’s “The Majestic Ventura Theater”, which underwent a changeover hosting concerts, prior though, we had sat in its balcony for “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”.
The former Sky View is being redeveloped as we speak, starting about summertime 2017. Housing will occupy its spot and I think it should be known as Sky View Park.
Unfortunately, that link for the aerial view no longer works, but thanks for the provided info otherwise. I had been there twice as a very young man in the very early seventies and my memory is so vague. This was one of the five that Ventura County once had. The SkyView of Oxnard is either soon or currently the last being developed. These are getting awfully scarce!
I lived in Seneca Falls within 1964 and 1969 as a child. Saturday double feature matinees at the Strand were a fond memory as this theater was quite a family spot. It seems, if my memory serves me right, circa 1968 was an ownership or management change. I seem to remember a venue change, possibly to Adult? Please forgive me if I am wrong. I had also heard that it had burned down.
Thank you, Drive-In 54. I had trouble returning to that site as well and your link worked! To my knowledge, the Sky-View is still undeveloped as off July 18, 2014 when I left Oxnard.
The last of five in Ventura County to remain undeveloped, it sits vacant in limbo. The header states that it had one screen, however, a second screen was added near the rear exit…I forgot the date…sometime in the mid Seventies.
