I tried looking up the address on the web, and also called directory assistance, all to no avail. Sorry "Poster". The operator told me it takes a couple of weeks to get listed, after you you get a new phone number. But you'd have thought they would have been listed by now.

Ya, oh you think the reporter from the SGV Tribune who was at the place itself, could have wrote where it was.

My God, at times I can't believe this rag charges people to read it. It is written and operated at the level of a school paper at best.

Ever watch the video reports from the Trib? Unbelievably bad quality and it sounds like it was voiced-over by some vato who happened to be passing by.

"Um, ya ese, and then there was like a shooting homes, and people got all shot up and stuff ey. For the SGV Tribune I'm blah blah blah"

Maybe that is an exaggeration but not by much. In this era of papers going bankrupt it is easier to see why when you look at our local bird cage liner.

Grrrrr.

Well their's always the "Barn Burner" on South Fair Oaks in Pasadena. Texas style barbecue set in literally an old barn type atmosphere. Old fashioned homemade lemonade in mason jars and all the free peanuts you can eat type place. Plus all sorts of Texas brand beers, like "lone Star" etc. This is a real off the wall place with plenty of parking and easy access from the street.

Ok, thanks. Now I know where it is!!!:)

Re: safe place or not...

On days kids (I.E. people under 30) think it is cool to go to the movies, I would stay away. This is the theatre of choice for "kids" for a good portion of the SGV, so on Friday and Saturday, unless you enjoy moronic behavior I would stay away.

On off days this is a good area.

P.S. For a great movie-going experience 7 days a week, try the Monrovia Krikorian. The fact that is a mile away from the nearest bus stop and also that there is no fast food nearby, makes this theatre a gang member and idiot proof place to watch a great film.

The Lakes.

You live in W.C. but have no idea where the Lakes is at? Either you are joking, or you are really as clueless as I thought?

Think, Best Buy,Elephant Bar & DSW....if you are anywhere near there, it'll slap you in the face.
