I see quite a few references to these yearbooks on this site. On the internet, it looks like they sell for about $35 each. Is that the only way to obtain the information? Any help is appreciated.
I was watching the first season of Hill Street Blues on DVD last night. Quite a few episodes were filmed in downtown Los Angeles. I noticed the Optic twice, and the Regent once. At one point, two cops were filmed talking in their car as they drove north on Main. If you slow down the speed, you can see every business on Main between 7th and 4th circa 1981.
I guess it depends on your interpretation. Timelines generally start at the beginning and go to the end. If it says Timeline – 1980-closed, I am assuming that’s a chronological progression. I could be wrong, but it’s hard to tell.
An ad in the Freeman, an African-American newspaper, circa 1917, shows the address as 3451 South State Street. The ad describes the theater as “The Home of Colored Vaudeville”.

Good idea.

No, it opened in 1980 and closed at some point later on. I know that not many drive-ins opened in the 70s and 80s, but that’s what the source says.
Noe problem.
