City of Los Angeles Funds Illumination of Classic Theaters

posted by Manwithnoname on February 4, 2004 at 8:07am

LOS ANGELES — Last Tuesday, January 27th, a switch was flipped and suddenly the marquees of the Los Angeles and Palace Theaters in downtown were illuminated.

The city is attempting to bring life to the historic Broadway section of downtown that is home to many classic movie palaces. Michael Delijani, who owns the two theaters as well as the State Theater nearby, did not have to pay for the relighting but was required to agree to keep the signs lit for 10 years.

Read more about the relighting on LA Downtown News Online.
