I pass this place on HWY 18 everytime I visit friends in Big Bear. Yes, the old projection booth/snack bar building is now a real estate business.
Man, if I ever had the kind of money it would take to buy and revamp the place, I would do it in a heartbeat! Can you imagine watching a movie out under the stars up in the mountains of California? Sounds like heaven to me!
