I was born on June 21, 1951 the date on the above post. Moved to near the Van Nuys Airport at about the age of 5 and started going to the Reseda Theater, the only theater anywhere around in the then unpopulated S.F.V.
The days blockbusters of the day like Bambi would produce lines around the block. Probably saw Mr. McGoo goes skiing about a thousand times in that theater.
Before heading ito the theater, we would stop by the Save On down the block to buy 3 candy bars for 25 cents, then on to the double feature.
After the movie(s) we would go over to the Big Donut next door (now a gas station) for donuts and orange soda. Boy was I pissed off when they tore down the giant donut.
For a long time I have phantasized that if I were rich I would buy the Reseda Theater and turn it into a revival theater like the Nuart in S.M.
The Reseda Theater is one of the truly historic places in the SFV. I am pleased to see that the Community Redevelopment Agency is going to preserve the theater and turn it once again into a place to and have fun.
