Only the front portion of the Vista was torn down. Atlas Liquors occupies what was the main part of the theater(albeit totally gutted)with a small driveway in front where the lobby and a couple of small businesses would have been. Atlas liquors took it over in the early 70’s after they lost their original location for construction of the El Cerrito Del Norte BART station. They’ve now been in that space longer than the theater was.
