kencmcintyre commented about Queen Theater on Aug 21, 2009 at 7:25 am

That should have been 1935 for the fire, then the re-opening three years later.

The Queen closed after a fire in 1938. A local paper announced the re-opening in September 1938:

Here is an August 1947 ad. The Cold War is on its way, but not just yet.

I went to the indoor mall at the Paseo location a couple of times in the 1980s. It was depressing. The new development is mixed condos and retail, and has done well so far.

Not to stray too far afield from the topic at hand, but I’m not sure I would put Jamba Juice on my top ten restaurant list.

kencmcintyre commented about Todd Theatre on Aug 19, 2009 at 9:51 pm

The current business is Todd Video, so maybe the same owners. I looked at the photo on Google yesterday, and it appeared to me that this place has always been on one end of the strip mall. I think they took down the marquee and made some other changes over the years.

Hastings is down the street to the east, about ten or twelve blocks I would guess, and has been around a while. The Paseo is relatively new.

Great to see that. The Fox looked like it was doomed a couple of years ago. I hope to get out there for an event soon.
