OK. My memory isn’t what it used to be. I’m pretty sure the fudge place is gone now, though.

But, the Beverly was a nice theater, whereas I didn’t think too much of the Galaxy when it opened. I think the Galaxy took over the spot where CC Fudge used to be, and I was upset about that. Great hot fudge sundaes.

I think this may be the marquee for the Apache:

HVAC buffs? Is there an “HVAC Treasures” website? That would be interesting reading.

Was this the film you saw?

This was the one across the street from the Beverly Center, wasn’t it?

kencmcintyre commented about Fairfax Cinemas on Oct 17, 2007 at 12:28 pm

Last visit to the Fairfax was for the Israeli film festival a few years ago. I never saw it before it was multiplexed. Interestingly enough I first noted the old advertisement on the back wall (now painted over) for the first time in 2002 after years of walking up and down Fairfax, usually coming back from Canter’s.

Looks like it’s a banquet hall:

Perhaps the old Strand should be added as a separate theater.

Here is an undated photo. Atlantic Book Shops was a chain with stores in Atlantic City and Ocean City. I bought cheap sci-fi paperbacks at the AC store for years:

I don’t remember. I’ll check and let you know.

Thanks. It should show up later today.

I’m going to add it. Can you post that on the page after it comes up?

This 1957 LA Times ad mentions a Belair Drive-In at the corner of Valley Blvd and Fontana. I’m not sure if they are referring to a Fontana Street or the city of Fontana. If anyone has heard of this drive-in, let me know:
