This place just calls to me. As for your pics, are you kidding? They're GREAT!<br /><br />And Wacky Tacky, an Art Deco Society Ball???

I haven't stayed over night yet and I really want to see the flying fish when the festival comes around. <br />I like the small size. If I could get into Long Beach easier and stay longer, I would bring my easel and paint. Even with the summer crowds it is quite relaxing to me. The hike to the botanical garden and the Wrigley Memorial is a good one too.KrisFhttp://wolf-grrl.deviantart.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-36823124203118769432012-03-08T09:43:49.445-08:002012-03-08T09:43:49.445-08:00I love Catalina because it is so sleepy.

We go every year for the Art Deco Society's Avalon Ball and stay the whole weekend! It happens on the same weekend as the museum's silent movie fundraiser. Bob Salisbury composes and performs an original score for the film every year - AWESOME!!!Mr. Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646297018044505890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-29921570854314906562012-03-08T09:14:34.884-08:002012-03-08T09:14:34.884-08:00I have been to Catalina several times, but only th...I have been to Catalina several times, but only the last time was this theater open for business. Unfortunately, it was closed, so I only got pics of the outside.<br /><br />This building is a gem. You are right, tho, the town is kind of a snooze. one walk up and back, and you're ready for something new.<br /><br />I am hoping to manage a backpack trip into the interior, which can be arranged, entering through Twin Harbors and hiking to Avalon.<br /><br />Someday.<br /><br />Thanks for the pics, Dave.<br /><br />JG (on the road)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-10637687925264601712012-03-08T08:24:23.073-08:002012-03-08T08:24:23.073-08:00I've taken one - would highly recommend it!

Fascinating to see the old theaters that are no retail stores (and seeing the remnants of what is left) but even more cool to see the huge movie palaces that survived! They are spectacular.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-44839014005910644562012-03-08T08:12:29.336-08:002012-03-08T08:12:29.336-08:00I love old theaters; one of these days I'm goi...I love old theaters; one of these days I'm going to take a walking tour of the movie palaces in downtown L.A.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.com
