Now a business and industrial park.
What great ads Ken mc.Love them.
I never actually went to a movie there, but I lived a mile away up the hill in Monterey Park. So one of my most vivid childhood memories from the ‘60s is of hearing a chorus of horns honking from the theater whenever the movie would start late or break down. Which was pretty much every weekend night…
August 18th, 1950 grand opening ad in photo section.
The Floral was included in advertisements in the LA Times as late as June 1981.
The Floral Drive-In held a reopening on June 10th, 1962 for Spanish-language movies. Another ad from La Opinion posted.
