I was just told today about the guy who owns the building where the Lakeside Cinemas (Lakeside, CA) has been closed for twenty years. I've been told I can have a tour, and that the booth(s?) are still fully loaded like the day the theatre closed. I think the guy wants to get the stuff OUT of his hair, as nobody has even looked at the building in over ten years.

I'll post as soon as I know more, but if the guy really says 'yes, for god's sake, get it out of here...' then there will be a call for anybody who wants to join in on the pilfering. And no, I have no clue at all yet as to what's up there.

Hmmm...stuff a garage already bursting at the seams or suffer the regret of passing up an opportunity in the vicinity? [Confused]

I may be game, Jim.

Should know more about a tour in a week or so. Will post back then.

So this guy kicked Guy and Ian out and then never did anything with the land? Nice really really nice!

The Lakeside in question is near San Diego. I believe you are thinking of the Rialto Cinemas Lakeside which is still in operation in Santa Rosa, CA

My bad....

I think they had to move into a new building Ian Santa Rosa.

My contact called the guy a couple times, and no response, at least yet. Just going to have to wait until the guy surfaces. I don't want to push it, because I don't want the guy to think he's got a live one. He doesn't.

I'll let you know as soon as I know anything. Have good week!

It's possible that either your contact or the guy at Lakeside has seen this thread and is avoiding the issue because he doesn't want a circus in his booth....

Always got to remember that ANYTHING you post here is easily found by a simple Google search by your name (or the cinema's name). I have been burned by that a few times...

May I suggest that any future info on this be communicated by email or PM to the parties in this thread who are interested?

I would definitely be interested.
