Their screens are the largest in northern CA, and the buildings are still in condition to continue operating as theaters! Those who are advocating their demolition have demonstrated a lack of knowledge about movie theaters or their history, and whatever is built in their place could never have as much significance.

As it stands now, there is no parking for patrons of Santana Row. LOTS of people park in this area and walk across santana row. There is Valley Fair across the street as well. How much retail shops does this area need?
And what about the home on Olin and Hanson and Maplewood Ave??
They would have to put up with the loud music and drunk people walking around every night?

Their design is one of a kind, and the Century 21 was the first of its kind. Therefore, they are irreplaceable. Their architectural design, along with their status as one of the earliest Cinerama-capable theatres make them exceptional. These theatres are, therefore, a compelling candidate for a historical landmark.

Many of us who work in the film industry were inspired to become filmmakers because of the time we spent at the Century domes.

Allow those of us who work in southern California, but consider the Bay Area home, to be proud of that home today and remain so into the future.

As a small child, I saw the Century 21 theater being built and going to a movie there was always a big event! My folks would buy the souvenir programs and all that.
