I was born in Brawley in 1967 and grew up there. I attended bottle-cap matinees at the Brawley Theater. I recall seeing Orca and It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. The theater has never been reopened, and a silly spruce-up of a facade didn’t hide the blight that has now spread over much of the town. It’s a very depressing place. My dad grew up there and has stories about the various movie houses, soda fountains, clothing shops, etc. No such vitality and initiative these days. I found an interesting story about the theater when it played Deep Throat. View link
