Avco Box office and entrance (lower left of building) — The Avco was one of the finest presentation theatres in Southern California — The 1200-seat main auditorium, with 70mm THX Sound presentation, made for great movie memories — Unfortunately, that main auditorium was split down the middle by 1993 — Two smaller auditoriums are located on the second floor
