(Below) Here's the Topanga Theatre in Woodland Hills showing movies to a crowd looking for a discounted matinee. Unfortunately, time caught up to this theatre in the late 1990's and the theatre closed down. One part of the theatre that was memorable was the marquee with Topanga Theatre spelled out in bright red letters. Another movie house is now just a memory. 04-06
