    WOW. The Avenue is still there? That would be a great indie flick venue, if only there was a demand for it in Downey. I remember seeing it showing Spanish-language films for a time, I think. I also remember seeing movies for a buck at its sister theater a few doors down, The Meralta.

    Love Johnny Rebs (I'm from MD). Thought "reconstruction" line was funny.

    Why the hell wouldn't indie flicks work in Downey? It seems so strange that there is no venue for such movies in the vast expanse between LA and the University theater in Irvine. A little too strange, if you ask me. It might be a good plot for an indy flick.

    Dude. It's Downey. If it weren't for its civic light opera, a bowl of Pinkberry would have more culture.
