There is much history on display about the theater, the auditorium, drive-in and the entire area at the Farmers Market. This history was added as part of the renovation of the market when The Grove was added.

I started attending the Pan Pacific Theater when we moved to nearby Detroit Street in 1964 when I was a kid. We still have my parents' duplex there which has been in the family since 1944 when my grandmother bought it. I remember the $1.50 weekend/$1.25 weekday/$.50 child prices (or was it $.75 for children?). The Gordon Theater on La Brea and the Farifax Theater on Beverly & Fairfax had
comparable prices for double features.

My dad told us about the bowling alley that was there when he arrived in 1944.
