I took a tour of the Paramount in Oakland in Feb/March 2004 and the tour guide confirmed that the Oakland Fox is being acquired (or already has been) by the same group that is running the Paramount. He said that the restored Fox would have about 600 seats and be used for smaller venues. He also indicated that tours of the building would hopefully begin soon in order to raise awareness. Luckily it is still standing and has not been torn down.
