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.

I can appreciate your keen radar pinging on other projects where things went sideways from their original vision, but I can assure you Joe that is not the case here. 1) The Fox is now on the National Register of Historic Places thanks to the great work of Fullerton Heritage and their 10,000+ signatures (almost impossible to tear down with this status). 2) It has already been retrofitted as part of the $8M recent “Phase 1” project. Even Mother Nature can’t bring it down now 🙂 3) The Morgan Group (who built the apartment complex across the street) were the ones who had the original option to buy the Fox from Ed Lewis so they can tear it down and build what you are worried about. The Morgan Group GAVE UP their option so the Fox can be saved and they wouldn’t have been “run out of town” so to speak because they tore down the beloved Fox Fullerton. 4) The Pelican Group who has now been approved to do the Fox Project are mandated to do parking structure (which the City was obligated to do years ago when they took over the block from the Peck Family), and the 2 other lots with the 1 being the one left over from the “Moving McDonald’s” boondoggle that never but should’ve happened. That’s all.
Trust in knowing that the destruction of the Fox is not part of a developer/City cabal. Believe it or not, everyone is rowing in the same direction for the Fox’s return to glory. Sooner than later at this point. (Again, you should get inside and see the work it’s beautiful). Cheers.
