Is there a listing for the South Bay Six Drive-In in Carson? It was operating when I moved here in 1994 but is now gone.

I had a feeling that it was somewhere here. Thanks.

I was watching Gone in 60 Seconds today (the original) and noticed the Palace as well as the State during a chase scene in downtown Long Beach. I also saw a theater with a blank marquee on the east side of Ocean Avenue, but I couldn’t identify that theater.

This picture is partially duplicated above, but you get a better shot of the Imperial and the adjacent West Coast (from the LA Library):

There is no entry for the Capitol Theater in Long Beach, as shown in this 1925 picture from the LA Library. Could this theater be listed under another name? The address is 219 E. Seaside Boulevard in Long Beach.

I will do a drive-by the next time I am close to downtown.

This is still the herbal medicine store, with the aforementioned Teatro Broadway sign extant.
