No shattered glasses yet….I knew the nummbers game already. When a dream is discovered in the morning, you will live each day to see it come true before nightfall.
Well folks, I just got off the phone with Vinod, the new owner of
the Vogue Theatre. What a wonderful person, man, business mind he has. We passed a few great ‘theatre saving’ ideas back and forth to one another. He is very devoted to saving this theatre, doing so without getting very emotional like myself. But having the emotional side fuels the energy to be creative and the energy can then flow over to others who hare your dream.
Well to make this short, I will have an opportunity to present my ideas to Vinod – to keep the theatre going- by Friday of the week.
Another point to make is that the city of Chula Vista is one of the most expensive places to live at in all of California.

LOL…yes I’m a newbie here and nieve about the movie biz. Fortuna Bueno came through for me. Thanks Jim. I’ve taken similar photos and I’ll get them on my photobucket asap.
Your point about the land cost and the return on the investment is true. I can easily agree with alot of other comments you made too. You’re also able to seperate emotions and business very well which I admire.
I started a business with no emotion and with no passion what so ever, I actually hated it. I just knew that I could make money doing what it is I do and I did. There’s a demand for what I do, the demand for movie theatres in general has dropped due to home theatre systems, you’re right again.
I called the real estate office who handled the sale and was told I can talk to the new landlord for the VT on Monday July 31st. On that date I’ll know what their plans are for the theatre. I do have an interest to rent the theatre for a project I’m working on. God willing this will go through. I’ll keep you posted.
I truly believe there is a pop, fashion, movie buff culture that will fill the seats if the marketing tools are there. I have ideas that I will present to the landlord and yes this will be for the fun of it and at the same time make a profit, why not?
I’m glad you got to experience this humble little theatre that I grew up to love and even watch first run movies when this and the Fiesta twin were the only theatres in Chula Vista. Do you remember what movies you saw there?
BrooklynJim,
You hit it right on… Plus the fact that movies that have already been out for 10 plus weeks would finally get to a theatre like the Vogue. How can I see Lost Memory’s photos? I have several of my own to share too.
Schmadrian,
What I expect a city to do in this situation is be more sensitive to it’s own historic landmarks. How the city handles the business side within city development will always include the ‘business’ factor. I believe a city has a real responsibilty to uphold and create ways to uphold it’s roots and history landmarks. The people like myself need to be heard. I believe the city has neglected the Vogue theatre and the west side of CV all together.
Chula Vista was a small community though the city has grown so much and so fast within the last five years. Housing and commercial development is booming and may even be the number one city in all of California in regards to population growth, housing and other city development.
You see there is now a west and east side to CV. I and the Vogue are on the west side. The city of Chula Vista is developing the east side beautifully and perfectly yet the west side gets no attention at all. Honestly it’s almost like a snobbish attitude I see from them.
You’re right about the choices given part. The creative marketing by the theatre owners wasn’t there at all. Obviously they didn’t have the dollars to support any ideas they may of had.
In regards to your question about preventing the theatres closure, good question btw. I believe my lack of education, lack of understanding politics and lack of city management knowledge makes it hard for me to explain what the city should have done or can do now.
The theatre owners obviously did as much as they were capable of doing. Just the simple fact that this theatre is a historic landmark should justify the cities interest to preserve closure at all. Just like when the airlines receive federal aid to keep flying the Vogue owners should have received city aid from tax revenue.
Those are just my opinions and ideas. I would love to visit the city manager and ask how I can open a bank account with the cities endorsement. Find an investor to help me promote the goal to reopen the Vogue theatre. Then ask residents for donations which will be deposited in some type of trust account. Maybe I can make flyers and deliver them to houses. Get their support and build from there. I have an idea but I am clueless as to how to make this really work.
