Did the Jade building replace the Wonderland building, or was it just a change of names? Any info on this?
The LA Times reported exploding film and panic at a theater at 649 South Main on 4/26/21. Maybe the Republic, maybe not. The addresses are dissimilar.
Here are three more photos from the LAPL: http://jpg2.lapl.org/theater1/00014912.jpg http://jpg2.lapl.org/theater1/00014914.jpg http://jpg2.lapl.org/theater1/00014920.jpg

The function should be retail.
I had the same experience when I was at the Alameda theater in East LA. “This was never a theater”, the owner told me. Sure dude, whatever.
You win the prize.

Victoria Station was the name of a chain of bad restaurants in LA about twenty years ago. Now I get the connection.

What’s the going rate for a room at the Melrose these days? I need a good flophouse when I’m downtown.
I didn’t see that, but I do now. So the view would be looking east from Bunker Hill. That leads me to believe that it’s probably this Grand over on Main Street, seen from the back.

The town was named after the TV show following some kind of contest years ago. I don’t recall what the original name of the town was.

I don’t think it’s a church anymore.
I was driving by rather quickly. I will take another look when I’m in the area.
Is that close to one of the exits on the 71 freeway?
It’s closed and available. I drove by it last month.
