This morning they were removing the windows from the old Camera 12 Theater.

The three-story former movie theater will be converted into the Paseo, a mixed-use office and retail space with bars and restaurants.

Adaptive reuse is itself considered sustainable because of the reduction in building materials needed to transform a space.

"They started clearing it out on Friday night," Skaggs recalls, "because it made it hard to get a restraining order to stop them until the following Monday." Sound equipment was torn out so fast some of the screens ripped. About 1,400 chairs and other appliances were sent to Los Angeles cash on delivery. Delivery was refused down south, and the shipment boomeranged into a local warehouse. "The liquidator contacted me to purchase the seats for the Camera 7," said Skaggs(Dennis Skaggs, Co-Founder of Camera Cinemas). Richard Von Busack The Metro Active
