It is, one in the same. Last time I saw it I was visiting from up north. My friend and I were driving by when she told me it was closed and would be demolished in a matter of months. What a shock! I thought that place would always be there, forever. Guess you can't stop progress, or Wal Mart.

I think there's a Facebook Group for Highway 39 too. I was saddened to learn the state of affairs the old place had been in before it met its demise. Not many sentimental people in O.C., eh? I'd forgotten how big it was until I went to the drive in last year and thought.. OMG, this place is SMALL! Highway 39 was HUGE!
