The Sunset Theater Lodi

Plans have been submitted to the city for approval by the building department. This may take a couple of months for them to complete. In the meantime we are moving forward with removing the electrical wires from the front of the theater. Going underground will really clean up the sight lines from upstairs on the VIP deck over the lobby.

To the person or persons who witnessed someone breaking into the Sunset Theater and called the Lodi PD to the scene yesterday Oct 22 at 4:00 pm thank you. While the theater is basically empty there were electrical distribution boxes inside that apparently were very inticing to a thief. Oh and they stole the alarm too. I wish I had a description of the thief. I do know they must be skinny as the hole they came in through was smaller than the one they came out.

Hey everyone in District 5 of Lodi. I just spent the last hour and a half talking the ear off of Hector Madrigil one of your candidates for City of Lodi City Council. First of all the man can listen. He asked pointed questions and took notes. While I am usually shy and reserved about my opinions Hector seemed to care. If he listens to you as much as he did me he will be a great representative of your district. I don’t know the candidates and I can’t vote as I live outside of Lodi but he seems like a very nice young man with some good ideas.

The day a lot of you were waiting for is here. While plasma cutting up the ovens at Alexander’s we came upon the last loaf of bread from the bakery. Do I hear an opening bid of $50.00? Just kidding please do not try to buy this bread. ... Oh and yes we saved all the bricks that the bread was cooked on but that is a subject for another day.

Major event announcement! We got the adjacent building to replace Alexander’s approved by the Lodi SPARC. I would like to thank the members of the community who spoke out.

Sorry we have been so quiet on FB lately. Next week we go before the Lodi SPARC to get city approval for our plan to redevelop the site and reopen the Sunset Theater Community Center. Fingers crossed ! Alexander’s is cleaned out and no longer a hazardous site. We are awaiting approval for the removal of the building. If you know anyone with pull at PG and E please ask them to green light 1100 West Lodi Ave work order to seal off natural gas to the site. Without a small miracle it may be several months before they show up.
