I was there in August of 2008, but have wandered the outside since then, and there seemed no evidence of recent break-ins. To get in you will need a friend, and it can be done w/a little wit. In my opinion it isn’t worth the risk of getting arrested, but still is a neat experience. It really was a shame to see everything smashed and spray-painted. I got a laugh out of the projection room because someone set up a TV and chairs and seemed to get high in there. Lights in the lot go out at around 12am but cops patrol regularly by car.
I am most likely the most recent uninvited guest at this location. The reason for this is that all of the doors are boarded and/or chained shut, making it essentially impossible to get in from a conventional entrance. Though there WERE people living inside, they were probably there before the place was properly sealed. It wouldn’t be practical for someone to be living in there now. But there still is a relatively easy way in, so long as you aren’t afraid of heights ;)
I was in the theater in August of 2008. The place is worse now than in previous descriptions. My father managed this place when I was a child, so I knew a way in(hint: don’t bother trying the doors, they’re sealed). The walls are covered with graffiti, beer cans lay all over(Red Dog, specifically), all the glass is broken and it is obvious someone was living there…miserably. A light still eerily flickered in the lobby and the bathrooms were notably clean, though someone w/the runs used the waterless toilets.
