The Daily Briefing
SEAL BEACH’S BAY THEATRE FOR SALE
The Orange County Register’s Jonathan Lansner reports today that the 1947 Bay Theatre, Seal Beach’s landmark Main Street movie house, can be yours for a mere $3.3 million.
Sadly, lifetime Netflix service would be much cheaper.
“While it’s being marketed as a potential site for a market-savvy movie buff, it also could be converted into a restaurant, office or retail space,” Lansner writes–clearly overlooking its indoor swapmeet potential.
You know what else the Bay would be good as? A movie theater! But that’s probably too obvious.
“It’s irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind real estate,” CB Richard Ellis agent Joe Miller, who represents the family that’s owned the theater since 1975, told Lansner. “If someone has a vision, they can do something with it.”
Yeah, and someone with vision–and, perhaps, a heart–could maintain it as one of the last single-screen movie theaters in Southern California.
