Just an empty lot now – you can easily see where the twin screens would have gone, back-to-back. Should be listed as closed for sure.

Nothing left of the Lynn / Laguna at 250 Ocean but a newish looking multi-story office building – right next to the Historical Society, by the way.

I’ve seen records of a Lomita Theatre listed at 1063 Narbonne Avenue – had the numbers of the street changed at some point?

Wonder what ever happened to Cinema 76!

Looks like whoever was doing remodeling, judging from the photo on GoogleMaps, ran out of money. “Azteca” is still there.
