I was born (1945) and raised in Santa Ana and remember the Walker, West Coast, Broadway, Yost and State theatres well. I attended many Saturday shows at the Walker and West Coast, admission was 10 cents or two Bubble Up bottle caps. The West Coast is now a church. The Yost was always Hispanic during my tenure in Santa ana (1945-1968). The State was basically used for storage. I went to grammar, junior high and senior high (SAHS) schools with Chuck Walker (graduated 1963 SAHS)of the Walker dynasty. While at a SAHS reunion in 1973, Chuck said he owned the Wagon Wheel bar in Costa Mesa. Chuck, are you still around? Contact me is you want.
