Save the Cerrito Theater
Editor:
The historic Cerrito Theater, with its incredible Art Deco murals and interior, is one of El Cerrito's hidden treasures. For forty years, Mr. Kiefer stored furniture in this vintage San Pablo Avenue theater. The new property owner wants to lease the space to a new tenant immediately. Very promising negotiations with the owners of Oakland's Parkway Theater recently stalled. But we believe there is still a chance to bring this 1937 theater back to life.
We have to act quickly, or the opportunity will slip away and this unique artistic and historic treasure may soon become a discount mattress store. Help us convince the property owner and the City Council that this theater is worth saving.
