SANTA BARBARA, CA -- Attention! March 9th free Open House of the Granada Theatre's 50M$ restoration/upgrade. Just the rare event CinemaTreasure fans will enjoy. While the restoration is a balance of 'functionality, aesthetics and history' that might disappoint some purists, 'Old photos and newspaper reports were referenced, and the final aesthetic design will include the best features from the venue's past.' An artist's rendering of the interior is enough 'proof' for most that the drive up from LA will be worthwhile. Those game enough to make the trip without looking at the rendering should be pleasantly surprised.
