I remember wandering around the outside of the Strand as a kid in Modesto (‘71 – '80). Old theaters always caught my interest… I would peer through the cracks in the front doors and look at the old wild west decor. Always wanted to go in and explore, photograph, and appreciate. I am deeply saddened that a fire destroyed the place and that it has been demolished for the sake of a new theater.
