The status should be changed to closed/demolished.

kencmcintyre commented about Martin Twin on Jul 26, 2008 at 1:30 pm

There is a Dollar General store at this address now. I wasn’t able to find any photos of the dollar store to determine if it was a conversion of the Martin Twin. Cinematour has the theater as closed, but they don’t update their information on a regular basis.

Here is a February 2005 article about the conversion of the theater into a church:

I never did get the free book, by the way.

I drove by a couple of weeks ago. Nothing was going on, just the usual swap meet confusion, along with a brisk trade in fake drivers' licenses.

Here is the BSFS website, along with a picture of the building. Not a church anymore, unless you think sci-fi is a religion:

Well-heeled crowd for the middle of the Depression.

My wife took this picture today when she was driving around on Sunset Boulevard. She probably should have rolled down the car window first, but I give her an A for effort.

My old racquet club was across the parking lot from the sixplex. The club was torn down around the time the theater was expanded. I saw Hellboy II at the theater yesterday and took a couple of photos:
