Today, the theater is a historical landmark and was restored to its 1960’s appearance. I get an eerie feeling when I go there and see it. My dad was the manager there for 7-years and I can still see him tearing apart tickets at the door when the Clint Eastwood films and others' were king.
A bit later in life I saw Clint Eastwood at his Carmel restaurant ‘The Hogs Breath’ when he came in with his girlfriend. Man, if this all doesn’t make me want a DH kit then nothing will. Fact is, some memories bring back more pain than joy, but its all good.

Thanks for sharing. My Grandparents and one of my uncles and an aunt grew up in Oceanside. "Tex" was the President of the Elks club and active with the VFW from the 60's to about 5 years ago. He was a retired Marine veteran and though originally from Texas he fell in love with Oceanside while in the Corps. I will share this post with him.
