Loved the Crest, the balcony was very cool in the 50’s/60’s. I do remember Welch’s Restaurant, the great variety stores in Bixby Knolls, and our other place to go in the summer was Shady Acres Miniature Golf in North LB. I lived east of the LB airport, but we gladly nagged our parents to drive us to the Crest before we were old enough to get there ourselves. You’d have thought Long Beach could have saved just one of the bigger old theaters.
