I recall seeing the original “Jaws” at that theater. I must have been 6 or 7 at the time. I don’t remember seeing many more movies but recall the theater being so HUGE, but everything is larger to a kid I guess. Sticky floors… that I’ll never forget.
It was a sad day when the wrecking ball came to town for the Cornell. I remember the strip mall being built on the new vacant land… One of the first businesses to inhabit that mall was “VIDEO DEPOT”. This must have been around 1982/83… this was one of the first video rental places in Burbank when Betamax and VHS were the options of tape format for watching movies at home.
I left Burbank after high school in the late 80’s but return to visit the folks. Nice to know that Tommy’s and Shakey’s are still around on San Fernando Rd. Pioneer Chicken has been replaced with Popeyes (I think).
