I never actually went to a movie there, but I lived a mile away up the hill in Monterey Park. So one of my most vivid childhood memories from the ‘60s is of hearing a chorus of horns honking from the theater whenever the movie would start late or break down. Which was pretty much every weekend night…

The Floral was included in advertisements in the LA Times as late as June 1981.
