My husband's friend from his army days, spent a few years getting his Masters in LA and one of his jobs was at The Westlake Theatre.
Every time we go to that area of town, we see that huge sign that still stands at the top of the building. It reminds us of that long ago time, when the theater actually ran movies.
Due to the change in demographics of the neighborhood, it eventually ran Spanish movies and then later, became a swap meet, which still goes on today.
From what I can find, there are plans to return it to something wonderful...but it got caught in the economic downturn in 2008.
Maybe someday I may visit it.
