What is the status of this correspondence with the City?
Windmill Investment Advisors Inc. is now a disolved corporation within the state of California. This means the property title has either been transferred for consideration to another entity or quitclaimed internally to another entity with similar partners. Also possible is; it may be in escrow for a 1041 Exchange, or another such transaction is occuring. The attorney for Windmill during the take back proceedings is in La Jolla and title records do not reflect an accurate agent for service at this time. Also involved with Windmill is a well known Real Estate attorney from Los Angeles, previously listed as the agent of service.
I’m not an expert just an interested party with access to some resources, of course most of this stuff is public info if one knows how and where to look. I would hope to see the California shine again at any cost. In fact, I would like to be invloved with its restoration, organizationally or otherwise.
A quick California Theatre related story.
in 1942 my Uncle Wate was a Submariner in the US Navy. He wrote a letter home while he was in San Diego on liberty to his younger brother who was a week away from setting off to Basic Training at the then Naval Training Center here in San Diego. When he wrote the letter he suggested to Eugene (my grandfather) that one place he be sure to visit be the New California Theatre. He went on for along time in the letter about the grandness of the theatre and how it was full of beautiful women and loud laughter like he had never heard.He commented that he would save further detail for later correspondence when their mother would be less likely to read it. He promised Eugene that one day they would meet in San Diego on liberty and visit down town and the California together.
3 weeks later in October of 1943 Wates submarine the S-44 was sunk near the Aleutian Islands. All but two of the crew perished, and Wate and Eugene never got to visit the California Theatre together. In December of 1943 prior to leaving for flight training Eugene visited the California himself and secretly wiped tears away as he
watched a movie with his buddies and remembered his big brother.
I would like to visit the inside of that Theatre some day and remember my Grandfather and my Uncle, if only for a moment for days gone by.
