New hope for vacant San Lorenzo Theater - News Article Locations on Waymarking.com

"There’s new hope for an aging building in the East Bay— currently the San Lorenzo Theater sits empty, an old vacant rundown building.

But back in its heyday, 69-years-ago it served as a gathering place for the community until in 1982 when the theater was closed.

"There's a tremendous amount of structural reinforcement that needs to occur to this theater to be even up to a minimum standard," says Jaimie Orfanos with the Alameda County Community Development.
We had to use flashlights and a generator to see inside. When we did there was a lot of damage, holes in the ceiling and water stains on the walls as a result of a leaking roof. The chairs have also been removed but there is a silver lining. Most of the black light murals have little damage. Giving volunteers hope that the theater can reopen." (visit link)
