The old El Rey Theater building was still standing when I was moved to Paradise in 1975 as a very youg boy. The El Rey was a run down vandalized hulk that had issues with kids and transients using it. A fire seriously damaged the building in 1976 and it was torn down. The site is now a Town of Paradise public parking lot that sits next to the boys and girls club which is in the old bowling alley building long since remodeled.
