The Cine Mexico Theater on Santa Clara Street opened as the Mayfair in 1949 and was once owned by Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak in the 1980s. Stephanie Chang has initiated a
gofundme campaign to reopen the neglected landmark as a live music and entertainment venue. She is also proposing to reinstall a projector and show movies again as well as adding a coffeehouse, cafe, and art gallery. Stephanie is looking to raise $19,000 for the project.
For more information, just head over to the
gofundme page. Thanks to Alyssa Kies for sending this in!
Seems like a great project, but an unrealistic budget. What will $19K really do for a very old building in bad shape? Doesn't make sense to me.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what kind of movies they would be showing?
ReplyDeleteI live nearby and it is currently undergoing renovations.
ReplyDeletehow about some volunteers? it will take some serious commitment to get this theater going.. How about making it like the Stanford Theater in Palo Alto. It may do a lot for the community...
