People are rallying to rescue a vintage movie theater here that could go out of business after being shut down for six months, with no opening date in sight, because of the pandemic.
Similarly, residents are raising money to try to save independent movie houses in Orinda and Livermore.
Not only has the Alameda Theatre & Cineplex been a place to catch the latest blockbuster, it also has been somewhere to watch a Golden State Warriors game, or even to reserve a spot for a kid’s birthday party, making it more of a community hub than just a business.
