When it was a concert venue, I spent many Saturday nights doing the Dazed and Confused thing, and somehow, always ended up at Cafe Copioh and later at home with a chick.

Wow. I’m old.

I wish I could purchase the building and restore it to a movie palace that shows all-night grindhousing of the worst movies I can offer (Rocky Horror, Shock Treatment, Troll 2, Hackers, etc.)

I saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom here. I remember the building used to have Superman and other movie characters zooming up the sign.

A plan to expand to use the existing lobby space as a pawn shop was nixed by the Las Vegas planning commission on January 10, 2012.

My Father, Harry Zumar, was the General Manager of the Nevada Theatre Corporation which ran the: Huntridge, Fremont, and Guild Theatres in the 1960s and 1970s. He passed away January 12 of this year at the age of 97.

It breaks my heart to see the current condition of this building which holds so many great memories for me —including my Father’s going away party when he left the organization to move to California in 1973.

A fading beauty. Time and neglect is taking its toll on this icon in that currently resembles something used and discarded.. The Huntington resides in an area of the city way off the beaten path and far from the siren songs of the endless highway of slot machines. Photos from 2011: 1,

I added a recent photo. Obviously the building has shown no improvement.

Here is a 1970 ad.

You can listen to a March 10, 2008 interview with preservationist Josh Geidel, owner Eli Mizrachi, and State Historic Preservation Officer Ron James at KNPR.org.

The small concrete block wall to the right of the entrance has been demolished, and there is a Bobcat parked between the fence and the front doors.

I saw an exterior view of the Huntridge at the very beginning of your video. The video is basically a campaign ad and not about the Huntridge theater itself. If one political ad can be shown here than this site would be obligated to run ads for all politicians. That is not the purpose of this website. I can’t vote in Nevada either, but I wish you luck with your campaign.

If it is off topic, I am sorry. Even if you can’t vote in Nevada, I thought you like to see how I envision the Huntridge. I could have used any generic theatre in my video, but I chose the Huntridge because it is special. If after viewing the video you still believe my comments are off topic, I would request that the moderator remove them.

This is not the place to campaign. Politics are considered to be off topic.

You’re assuming we all live in Nevada and can vote in your election.

Hello,

My name is Chris Davis and I am running for district court judge in Nevada. I have made a short video for my campaign which features the Huntridge Theatre. I have a soft spot for the Huntridge because that’s where I saw Disney films when I was a child and concerts as an adult. I had to digitally reconstruct the Huntridge as I would like to see it. The videos purpose is to teach in JibJab style what we can do to prevent Nevada Courts from further becoming a national soap opera plagued by scandal after scandal. By injecting a little humor, I hope you will help me spread my message of change and hope.

Please join the fight against corruption at www.ChrisDavisForJudge.com and become one of the 6400 that I am recruiting to restore integrity to our courts! Attached is a screen shot of what you’ll find.

Chris Davis
Candidate for District Court Judge

P.S.

Please help get out the word by forwarding this email to your friends, family, and everyone else you know. You can also help by going to YouTube and rating my video.

Owner Eli Mizrachi now plans to convert the structure into retail and office space. More details and renderings of the plan, announced on August 13, are available at LeavingLV.net.

Looks the same to me.

How much could it have changed since May?

kencmcintyre on August 10, 2008 at 3:10 am

The theater is still standing, but doesn’t look good. Photos to follow.

This is a March 5, 2008 story about the Huntridge Theater.

Terrible news that the owner wants to raze the theater, What about this covenant that forestalls this until 2017?
