It is official, Jaws is coming to the Fox theater and for 30 years and 14 million dollars, that is what Fullerton has been waiting for.
I have been trying to wake people up to the grand plan of the smoky back room dealmakers with the city that the 26 million dollar black hole, white elephant is actually slated for high density housing. The Fox Block Project being proposed to surround the theater will permanently damage the theater and result in its eventual demolition and I believe this will be intentional. It is the making of the perfect tragic crime. Is this the plan? Foundations, their power, their influence and their tax exempt status. Foolerton residents: their folly, their apathy and their wallets. Watch and weep as your wallet is about to get hit.
The Fox Theater hasn’t screened a movie for 30 years, yet it has taken in $14 million dollars spent on warehousing the resident rat population as the homeless sleep in the streets right outside. All this while the gatekeepers like Leiland Wilson want people to think that this movie screening is some sort of an accomplishment as this property is kept in a holding pattern out of the reach and access of the good people of Fullerton. Let me tell you a fact ladies and gentlemen, that theater seats 800 people and it will cost upwards of 30 million dollars to finish restoring it. This piece of public property has been held hostage for the better part of three decades to make way for Agenda 21 stack and pack housing. It will never reopen. The full remodel will never happen. Like all the shopping centers that have been run into the ground intentionally, The Fox will instead it will become this unless we wake up.
Yes folks this is what the Fox Block will look like. And this will be what the 57 freeway will look like because there are plans to do this at the Kimberly Clark site as well.
Enjoy your 20 million dollar popcorn as you watch a movie whose net effect on our culture was to result in the demise of the shark populations in our waters forever. Yes you can dream a little folks, you can dream that our crooked city officials are actually planning to do something nice for us for a change while the rats will be back in the morning to eat the popcorn you dropped on the floor. So will the rats at city hall, working feverishly to screw every last one of us as they have for decades.
Joe Imbriano addressing the Foolerton City Council
The condition of our infrastructure tells it all and I did ask the question that very same evening I made the statements about the plans for the Fox.
Fullerton is run by ship of fools on a sea full of sirens. Watch out for the rocks because that is where we are headed folks. Stay vigilant.

Dear Fullerton Informer,
You really are doing a disservice to the community by spreading such “a story” about the Fox Theatre, The Fox Block, etc. You should get your facts straight before posting (for real) “fake news”. I’m sure there would be people happy to educate and inform you about the Fox project so you can use your blog to promote the real story and keep all the good work by volunteers, donors, the State of California, the City of Fullerton, In-Kind donors, etc. Perhaps you can get inside and see for yourself all the work that has been done and is being done? There were over 400 people who went to see a film inside the Fox this weekend and all of them seemed pretty damned happy they were there for an event. And very appreciative to be able to enjoy the Fox once again. Not to mentioned the 800 or so that cycled through a couple of weeks ago for “Day of Music”. Ask some of them. I’m not one to stop some one’s First Amendment Rights but even yelling “Fire” in a crowded theatre is against the law and this analogy is probably the best one in this case. (Maybe pull this post down until you are a more informed “FullertonInformer”?

Thank you for your comment I just want you to know that I follow the Fox block project very closely for many years and I’m very familiar with all the efforts of the good volunteers and the members of this community that want to do the right thing. Unfortunately I’m all too familiar with the tactics of City officials and the Developers and how they will exercise the good people of Fullerton and lie to them all the while they have alternate plans in the works that involve turning a cherished landmark into a stack and pack housing complex. I cried fire with a Polly’s pie shopping center and everybody called me a liar when they wanted to put several thousand units on that entire property and they actually deny that they ever had any intention of doing so yet I had a copy of the public notice that went out where they were going to have a public meeting to change the zoning to mix use overlay. I want the fox to be a public treasure just like the rest of you but what I’m trying to warn about is the ulterior motives and the carefully crafted plans to turn that corner into a high-density housing stacking pack and when they start building the parking structure they’re going to damage that theater that theater needs to be retrofitted and that theater needs to preserve in the last thing that we need to be doing around that fragile delicate Landmark is Drilling and pile driving and Excavating but that’s exactly what they’re going to do and they know once it’s damaged and it’s no longer a historical landmark capable of public use it will be bulldozed and it will be turned into higher density housing and that’s the plan
