I like to share these pics with as many people as possible, so here’s the link to my Old South Bay album, including pics of the Fox Redondo. Check out the overhead shot of the Torrance Drive-In, surrounded by oil derricks.

In Feb ‘73 I worked at South Bay #1 which is now a discount multiplex. The story we heard about the murders was that the assistant manager tried to tip off a phone caller DURING the crime. When reporting the days receipt total, the $$$ figure given over the phone was 0 $$$, meaning that SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE, SEND HELP!! Evidently, the number wasn’t questioned in time. Redondo police responded by stationing an officer on the May Company (now Robinson’s) roof with binoculars. We carried baseball bats while locking up for a couple weeks, checking behind curtains, etc.
