Actually, the 710 would miss the Rialto, but would destroy a great many other buildings. My Parents moved out of the freeways path when I was 5 when we moved. The house is still standing!

Good Luck!
Be sure to have enough cash to fix it up as well!

Kinda low-class of Landmark, letting the Soda Machine run out in a Hot Theatre!

South Pasadena is the Safest City in LA!
Cool! Way to go HomeTown!
Of course, it is only 3.4 square miles in size…

It would be a great Theatre for Plays too!
It is built for that!

How many of the seats are in the Balcony, which is rarely if ever open?

710 freeway:
Original Plan, Right Down Meridian, taking out the Library, and the High School as well as other interesting places.
Westerly Route, Go West, Through El Sereno, and the Monterey Hills. LA blocked it, and then many luxury homes were built in the hills. NO change of that route after that.
Latest Idea I have heard is to tunnel… Which might just make sense.

South Pasadena has fought this off for more years than I have been alive, and I am 45. Moved out of my first home to get away from the freeway, house is still standing. LOL

The Rialto is indeed haunted.
Some friends and I did an impromptu seance many years ago on the stage one night, Way after closing. A friend who worked there let us in and participated. This wan an unique experience, and I have not been in the theater since.

I grew up going to the Rialto, she is a wonderfull old theater, and I hope they don’t slice her up. There was a great theater in Pasadena that they did this too, and it was a shame.
I have a few stories of the Rialto, Movies, a Seance, Many memories!
