From your comments, I'd thought maybe you'd move back. Thanks for all the extra information. It's very interesting. So you’re still in LA, Dale?

When I took music lessons at Bell-Morford (sic?) Piano and Organ, my grandmother would pick me up on Riverside Drive, and I used that corridor to get there. I spent many an afternoon at the Crocker. Saw "Thunderbirds Are Go" there, one of the films that made me want to go to Hollywood to be a professional model-maker in the special effects biz. It sat for so long unused, it's a sad thing to see such a landmark single-screen movie palace bite the dust. Believe it or not, there are actually some of those surviving here in Los Angeles. *sigh* Dale Thelander, Bandit Eng. & EFX I remember that “Jack the Ripper” corridor well.
