VOGUE THEATER, OXNARD


I like a thrift store in somewhat gentrified neighborhoods. They generally have more character, better stuff, reasonable prices, and often cool neighbors.

Case in point is the old Vogue Theater in Oxnard, California. Right down the street from a small but decent Goodwill, the Vogue no longer operates (it's an indoor swap-meet/ mini grocer's market), but looks brand new with this slick paint job and it's gorgeous art-deco lines. in fact, i thought I wen through a time warp when I saw how new it looked. But the illusion was quickly shattered by the eyesore of a mega-mall within sight down the block.

I'll have to stick around some night to see if they turn on the neon.








Okay, I kind of went nuts with camera, but can you blame me? There's some other interesting mid-century architecture in Oxnard that's in front of the wrecking ball (to make way for another G-D mall). I'll post on those later.

What a gorgeous facade. too bad you can't go to a movie there anymore. Multiplexes suck.

Someone else with a camera and a thrift store fancy! Swankola, hope you don't mind me adding it to my links.

And yeah, I wish the Vogue was still going -- I had a momentary wish I had accidentally time traveled and I could pay my 10 cents to see Them! or The Thing From Another World. But, alas, it was just a place selling milk and bananas.:(

Great pics of the Vogue, I wish I was in California to check out places like this!

eniksleestack said...

It's surprising how many of these places are left. It's also sad that many of them will be torn down in the next few years.:(

I Live in oxnard and I am in the process of preserving and purchasing this mid century landmark. I plan on turning it into a live music theatre that will also screen classic films.

I love the pictures. I grew up in Oxnard and at that time they mostley played awful mexican movies but every now and then they would play a new release. My dad took us (myself & 3 sisters) to see the 1st Rambo movie. I think it was his favorite theater also not just because tickets were cheaper than the other theaters at that time (1979-1984).

I love this place! I live 3 blocks away and grew up about 2 blocks away! I remember the good ol' times! I also miss the Perlita on 7th st. Anyone remember the perlita??

I remember La Perlita on 7th. I also remember Santa Cruz Market.

I remember seeing martial arts flicks there for a quarter back in the late '70s. Loved that place. Imagine watching "Return of the Dragon" or "36th Chamber of Shaolin" dubbed in English with Spanish subtitles.
