I didn’t get to this location yesterday, as I was running out of daylight. I think 7208 Long Beach is below Firestone Boulevard. It looks like Pacific turns into Long Beach Blvd when you get that far south.
I took some photos yesterday, which I will post later. There is a “For Lease” sign out front. The marquee has some holes in it. This theater has seen better days.
6528 Pacific is the correct address. I was there yesterday. The theater is closed and is available for lease. The marquee has also been removed. I took some photos which I will post later.
I searched the LA Times archives for more information. The first theater ad that mentions the Terrace Theater is dated 5/3/50. Address was 3945 City Terrace Drive, phone was AN 6000. There is a reference to St. Lucy’s church at McGilvrey and City Terrace in 1961, so presumably that was the old location before they moved over to Hazard Avenue.
Terrace Theater should be listed as an aka. I walked around the site yesterday. The church is still there. No trace of any theater, as the church was built directly over the theater’s location.
I found the Unique after battling my way through the subway construction yesterday. It’s still a dollar store. I took some photos which I will post later.
Maybe not demolished. The street numbers were a little mixed up on that block when I was there yesterday. I took some photos, so when they are posted we may be able to figure this out.
I was at this site yesterday. No pictures as the neighborhood didn’t appear very hospitable. The site is fenced off, but looking inside there are a lot of old trucks, trailers and so on scattered around. You can see the concrete portion in the front that probably led into the entrance of the theater. After that it’s just dirt.

There is a post office on this site now.
There is a print shop on the first floor. I took a couple of photos. Status should be changed to retail.
