THEATRES YOU SHOULD MOURN IN #LA : The Fairfax Theatre. opened in 1930. Became very cheap in its final years, an absolute dive and it was great. pathetic that the city wouldn& #39;t grant it historic status and now it sits in developer limbo. #SAD #ArclightCinemas
Magic Johnson Crenshaw 15. one of those "you had to be there" LA experiences. the iconic movie posters inside. that fucking Magic Johnson preview! A gem that spotlighted Black cinema. the gentrification of this entire neighborhood is violent. a travesty.
most ppl hated this theatre but the University Village 3 is pure nostalgia. I went to 32nd st, the village was our forbidden playground. Perfect place for ditching. my dad took me to see Higher Learning here! (woke

the beloved Leo S. Bing Theatre at LACMA. the 1pm movies (4 bucks!) were everything. showcased unique #35mm films on the cheap - a rarity in LA. I spent the night there once,( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clock_(2010_film),">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_... met friends there - another wonderful LA theatre, destroyed.
this thread doesn& #39;t do justice to how many theatres we& #39;ve lost in #LA. preservation barely exists here. I get the #Arclight was loved, I saw some great films there - but it was far from inclusive. working class ppl should be able to go to the movies. period. #ArclightCinemas
