Whoops, I meant Jocko MacDonkulous. Long Story.
OCSlacker, you can only be one of two people, and I liked both immensely. This is Darin! AKA “Old School.” I was the main doorman, and usher extraordinaire. I remember working those Rocky Shows, and yes, shit was poppin' back then. I had so many good memories of that place — and to this day I tell my favorite ghost experiences that happened there: once in 1996 when I worked there the first time, and again in 1998. Goddamn, I’m all nostalgic now. I signed up to this site just on the whim that you’ll read this someday. If you do, look up Jocko Snarbuckle on FaceBook. Fuck!I loved this theater. I still have a good amount of original movie posters, and a t-shirt of the Crow: City of Angels. Ha! And it took about 10 years to be able to eat popcorn again.
Loved working here. Great people , great memories. It was really a tough break when it closed, business was booming before the Century 25 opened. Some of my fondest memories come from running this theatre. Right before it closed it was #1 in the country for Rocky Horror Picture Show . We saw over a 1000 patrons come through that door every Saturday at midnight and at least 600 on average for our revival movie night on Fridays . It was an incredible success for the company and actually helped keep the theatre open for several months after the Century opened it’s doors. Really miss those days sometimes.
Gcc saw her days were numbered,sadly.Good story.
A Petco now sits on this site.
Drove by yesterday and all that remains is a big lot…
Update: Demolishion has started on this theater. I drove by it today and half the building was already torn down.
