I GREW UP IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD (ATTENDED MAYBERRY ST. SCHOOL) IN LATE 50’S-60’S AND REMEMBER THIS THEATRE AS THE “RAMONA THEATRE"
THEN BEING CLOSED, REMODELED AND REOPENED AS "STUDIO ONE”, WITH A TICKET PRICE INCREASE TO AN OUTRAGEOUS .25 CENTS, CAUSING MY PAL PETER AN I TO CRINGE. SAW MANY A SAT. MATINEE, CLEOPATRA, WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT. THE BEATLES HARD DAYS NIGHT, HELP, THE EARLY BOND MOVIES, THE INCREDIBLE MR. LIMPET (WITH DON KNOTTS). WHAT MEMORIES.
CAUGHT MANY A DOUBLE FEATURE, AND AFTERWARDS WE WOULD GO OFF TO “OLE FOSTERS FREEZE” ACROSS THE STREET AND WEST 1 BLOCK, OR WE WOULD GO GET A PIZZA @ “PIZZA BOZZA’S” AROUND THE CORNER ON ALVARADO. THE BOZZA FAMILY OWNED THAT PLACE FOREVER, I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH THE LATE “RONNIE BOZZA”. THAT PIZZA PLACE IS STILL THERE, HOWEVER THE FAMILY SOLD IT SOME 10 YEARS AGO TO ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES WHO WAS WITH THE ORIGINAL BOZZA FAMILY BACK IN THE LATE 50’S. STOPPED BY FOR A PIZZA ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO. STILL AUTHENTIC FOOD. MEMORY LANE.
