The church is called “Polaris Christian Church Cinema”, according to this group that was auditioning actors for films. Definitely some movie-related things going on here: http://tinyurl.com/5kl4uw
“Zombie Strippers” is a recent addition to the oeuvre of Miss Jameson, a distinguished thespian and ecdysiast. I believe that she will next undertake a reading of “Wuthering Heights”.
1718 would be the east side of Main, so the theater would be exactly where an enormous freeway support stands now. I think the 110 was built in the mid to late fifties, so this theater has been gone for at least fifty years.
I drive by this place all the time and I never see anything going on. I would really like to go inside and see what’s left. Same with the Gentry in South LA. Maybe I should pose as a salesman.
When I was out front, an intoxicated man kept walking back and forth yelling on his cell phone. This was before lunch time. He was telling some girl that he didn’t need to give her a dollar for bus fare as he had plenty of other girlfriends with cars. I assume that’s not indicative of the neighborhood as a whole.

Hard to believe that this theater has been closed for almost fifteen years. They did cram a lot of shoebox-size houses into the space.

I know. I was stuck behind a fender bender today at that exact intersection, and I started ruminating (if that refers to humans as well as cows).
