On this 1944 map, you can see Court Street in box C-37, at the top. If 114 Court was near City Hall, it was probably 114 W. Court. On the map, Court stops before Spring, which meant that the street was most likely obliterated at that point by the city hall construction. http://tinyurl.com/6nunyd
The entire stretch of Century between Prairie and Crenshaw has been built out for retail. I remember only about ten years ago most of this land was vacant. Hollywood Park itself will be gone in five years, for a mixed retail/residential project.
I’m heading in that direction tomorrow. Let’s see if the building is still standing.
This is a duplicate listing:

That was quick.
The description states that the theater was demolished in 2002, so the function should be changed accordingly.
Status should be closed/demolished, as noted on ¼/06.
The Ebell Lofts site is defunct. There is a discussion of the renovation on this page:

Should it be stricken from the records? Sent to non-theater purgatory? What to do with this imposter?

This is not the one on Pine north of Ocean. This one is over by the CPK, Borders and so on, off Golden Shore.
We discussed this theater a while ago and came to a consensus that the status should be closed and not closed/demolished.

If we call the phone number on the sign, will they turn it back on?
I’m all for it, if it happens.

California?
That was with a cell phone. OK for closeups, but not much good long range. I had to toss some other Broadway shots I took today.

The blue building is 318. GNC is 316. The two businesses may occupy one building.
