Chris — what do you mean by down vs. up sloping?

Is down where you enter at the top of the stadium and step down? And up where you enter at the bottom and walk up?

Street View needs to be upgraded – the shot is from it’s days as a Pacific.

I was there a couple of days ago. Nice remodel.

P.S. Pacific & ArcLight are the same company. Their parent company (Decurion Corporation) simply converted it from Pacific to ArcLight, so the line about ArcLight “taking it over” is not quite accurate.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING transformation from Pacific to ArcLight. Auditorium layout completely changed from downward sloping stadium seating to upward sloping stadium seating. Screens are bigger. Sound is upgraded. Projection is DP…but they do have film projectors on hand.

This theatre is going to be the toast of the South Bay!

According to an email I received from Arclight, this complex will be an Arclight venue by Christmas.

There was a shooting in this theater a few nights ago. Two El Segundo police officers were wounded, along with a bystander. It was the first such shooting of an El Segundo officer since 1957. The suspect was killed in the exchange of fire.

I interviewed for a job over at TRW when I moved to LA in 1984. I remember driving slowly down Rosecrans looking for the TRW complex. Most of Rosecrans between Sepulveda and Aviation was vacant land. Hard to picture that now when you see this theater and all the rest of the retail on that stretch.
