GRAND LAKE THEATRE MARQUEES NOW AVAILABLE IN CARDS AND POSTERS
The
Grand Lake Theatre in
Oakland,
CA has been entertaining folks with movies and events that are relevant
to the community since 1926. In addition to popular movies of the
day, the Grand Lake Theatre hosts the Oakland International Film
Festival each year. In 1980, Allen Michaan, purchased the ground
lease of the property, and opened the theater with a single screen.
He later expanded the theater to include three more screens.
Starting with
the day the U.S. Supreme Court stopped the counting of the votes
in Florida, Mr. Michaan used the south facing marquee of the
theatre for a message of particular interest to the people of the
United States. In the past year, the south marquee has begun to
sport a continuous stream of political commentary. The focus: Protecting
constitutional rights of Americans, maintaining integrity and honesty
in American politics and policies.
Before long, elurie.com began photographing
these marquees. The next step followed naturally. The images were
added to the company's collection of greeting cards. Most recently
these wonderful sayings have given birth to a couple of elurie.com
posters.
