Yes, time marches on. It reminds me of a scene in a movie I saw first at the Inglewood – “Time Machine” in 1960. The world changed through thousands of years as he watched from his seat in the bizare machine.

By “drug store”, I was referring to the original drug store that was in the same building as the theatre. As Danny52 said, the whole building was razed and an Eckerd was built there. Is it closed now? I guess 3 drug stores on one block was too much! I was saddened too to see the movie rental store go into the church parking lot. That’s the church I used to go to as a child.

I have fond memories of going to the “Inglewood” every Fri. night and sometimes on Saturdays when I was a kid in the 60s. I think I got my love of movies from that place. There was an enclosed room in the back right of the theatre with a glass front. It was called the “Cry Room”. I would often leave the theatre and go to the drug store next door and shop for comic books. I wish I’d kept those original Spiderman books! And, yes, the Inglewood Bowling alley was directly behind the theatre.
