Laemmle Theatres President and CEO Greg Laemmle will discuss the future of the Laemmle Claremont 5 Theatre on Saturday, January 14 at a Q and A following a 1 p.m. screening of “Only in Theaters,” the new documentary about the long history and recent travails of the Los Angeles-based Laemmle arthouse chain.
Laemmle told the Courier on Monday that the theater, which had been on the market at $4.7 million for more than a year, will remain open through 2023. What will happen after that appears to be up to the community.
With five minutes, 58 seconds left in the first quarter of Monday’s National Football League clash between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, spectators were stunned when Bill’s safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after he collided with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin sprang up after the play but crumpled seconds later. Onsite medical teams quickly administered to the fallen player. In a statement on Tuesday the Buffalo Bills said Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest. The gruesome incident has sparked discussion among local high school coaches and the California Interscholastic Federation.
The vast parking lots and other underutilized land at many of Claremont’s religious institutions have long been viewed as potential locations for badly needed affordable housing, and a new bill working its way through the state legislature could make it easier to make it happen. As church attendance rates have dropped over the years, religious institutions statewide have sought ways to develop their land, but face tremendous obstacles including the high costs of construction. Now, many are hoping Senate Bill 4will help them break ground, turning “NIMBY,” or “not in my backyard,” into “yes, in God’s backyard.”
The popular Claremont Hills Wilderness Park has received a generous grant to help facilitate habitat restoration and make other improvements to the 3,000-acre hillside recreation area.
