The Avalon Theatre is located on a lonely section of S.E. Belmont Street. It has a unique neon sign that is really lonely at night and screens movies as well as being in use as a Wunderland Video Games room.

This theater is still in operation, although it has been rmodeled a bit. It currently contains 2 small screens. The old main theater is used as a video arcade now. The website for it is http://www.wunderlandgames.com/

YES! The Avalon is STILL IN OPERATION! I saw the (new) 3-D movie "Shark Boy and Laval Girl" earlier today. It was fun. Plus, once you're in the theatre, you can play nickle games. Maybe Don Lewis is a "lonely" guy. He should get some friends and go to the movies. Maybe he would be happier getting drunk at Laurlhurst or the Baghdad.

"In 1913 the newly constructed Sunnyside Theatre provided entertainment to a growing Southeast population. Located at 3451 SE Belmont Street, the Sunnyside operated for 22 years.

In 1935 it was renamed the Avalon. As multiplexes became popular, the Avalon's main auditorium was divided into three theaters.

In 1987 the movie house became the Avalon Theater and Game Room. It continues to provide entertainment for young and old alike, drawing audiences with a combination of low ticket prices, a weekly variety of movies, and a 5-cent video arcade. "

My image of the AVALON sign was taken around 1:30 am on a dark and deserted Belmont street. Perhaps now galago can see why I termed it "lonely".
