This place is one of my earliest memories as a child. We lived in Lynwood and would pass by this place on the way to Paramount on the weekends. It was a magnificent structure that I still remember almost 40 years later. Compton and El Monte had my favorite screen tower murals.

I’ve lived in the area since 1977 so I do not remember the original Rosemead Theater. Based on what I have seen and read, it used to stand where the Carl’s Jr now stands across the street from the new Fresh n Easy. I do remember the Rosemead 4 Cinema that used to be in Rosemead Square right next to the 10 fwy. It is now used as the Halloween store every October. Back in the 80’s I used to go to the Thrifty’s next door and buy 15 cent ice cream cones. There was also a Winchells donut shop and a record store nearby.
