Hollywood Then and Now - November 2023

The good news is that this is about an old movie theater that still exists even though it's changed considerably.

Now I can't be sure of this but I think the AVCO Theater on Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood just might be one of the first cinemas I went to in Los Angeles.   It certainly was the drawing card for all the big pictures.   Like, for instance, this photo from 1977.

As the Saturday night drawing power of Westwood dwindled over time, somehow the AVCO continued.   It morphed into an AMC Theater and now exists as one of those dine-in IPic theaters.    Inside it looks much different.   But, at least, it still features a silver screen.

Thank goodness.   We can still have nice things.

Dinner last night:  Route 66 chili from Bristol Farms.
