Damn. I’ve lived in Butte County since 1986 and this is the first I’ve heard of this theater.

Based on HistoricAerials and that hand-drawn, west-on-top map, I would choose the modern-day address as either 2145 5th Ave, the office building that sits where the Mesa had been, or 888 Mitchell Ave, the exact spot of the Mesa’s entrance. Both are Zip Code 95965.
