It shouldn’t say Catalina Island. Atlantic City is on Absecon Island. Shouldn’t all theaters in Atlantic City be listed as Atlanic City, Absecon Island, NJ, by your rationale? Avalon is the city, CA is the state. Catalina Island is not part of the address.
The La Tech Auto Body shop is still listed at this address. If any locals have seen this building since 2004, let us know if this is the original theater building.
Here is a little more information about the city of Cashmere:
According to the Tacoma Public Library, this is the origin of the name Cashmere.
It was established in 1889, and platted in 1895 as Mission by J. F. Woodring and I. W. Sherman. That name came from a Jesuit mission which had been built in 1863. The present name was given in 1902 since another town in the state carried the name Mission. Responsible for the choice was Judge James H. Chase, who had visited the Vale of Kashmir in India, and liked the name.
Status should be closed.

OK, thanks Don. I don’t imagine the space has been used as a restaurant for years.

Not a fact, but extremely coincidental given the name of the city.
