Rosie commented about The Garden Theater (1918-2004) on Sep 5, 2005 at 7:29 pm

John, I’m writing from my island city of Alameda, in the San Francisco Bay area of California, where our mayor and city council have decided to do only a partial restoration of our historic theatre, and tack on a new 7-screen cineplex and a 6 story parking garage. Our city’s redevelopment project is grossly out of keeping with the scale of the surrounding businesses. All this to say — is it possible for you to shed some light on the demise of small theatres everywhere, when my strong impression is that people mourn their loss?
