Too bad the city of SF tore the Fox down. I often wonder who bought the CinemaScope neon sign or did they trash It.

From the Wikipedia entry for the Fox Theater: “The question of the City & County of San Francisco buying the Fox and its land was put before the voters on November 7, 1961, as Proposition I. Requiring only a simple majority, the measure was overwhelmingly defeated with a NO vote of 59.2%.”

The city apparently offered around $800K for it, Fox West Coast wanted $1.15million. So it was put to the voters as a possible home for the SF Symphony and SF Ballet. A big mistake to let it go.
