The New Mission Theater was the mecca of the Mission for everyone to catch the most recent flick. Consistently playing two movies a night. If you were late, you would have to go across the street to Cine Latino or down the street to Tower Theater. Playing the same movies less the community gathering.
Currently, this beautiful and historic landmark New Mission Theater is vacant and awaiting approval from the planning commission to become an entertainment venue/night club. This idea is approved by me and my colleagues. Let’s utilize this vacant space and bring back a community gathering via the New Mission Theater. It’s a great idea. The memories, ambiance and the nostalgia of The New Mission Theater will return.
The New Mission Theater’s discussion has been ongoing for more than a few years now. I’ll keep everyone updated as it progresses forward. For now, help us out readers: would your prefer the current eyesore or an entertainment venue?
