bobbie,

Any chance I could get you to send me those images that you have of the Festival Cinemas?

Just got back from vacation—It has been demolished.

Update: This theater is slated to be torn down in September(after the Hayward Zucchini Festival, which is held at Kennedy Park across the street) and it will be replaced with a Target store.

Over 1 ½ years later, the building still sits, empty.

In the area, the first THX certified auditorium was at the GCC Fremont Hub 8, which opened in 1987 and had one auditorium THX certified. (That theater later closed, ironically due to the popularity of the 25 screen Century 25 in Union City. How interesting is that theater wound up putting 4 separate multiplexes totalling 28 screens out of business.)

Was one of the rare bay area theatres to have a THX certified auditorium for many years, before many of the huge 15+ screen multiplexes came along.

Just thought I might add this bit of info

The address is:
19901 Hesperian Blvd Hayward, CA 94541

The last day it was open for business was January 26th, 2003

If the add photo option was available, I could submit images as well, for I have many.
