As LAObserved reports, the land where Westwood's Mann National theater once stood has been smoothed over. The theater is all gone.
Thepetecom put together a Flickr set of National Theater demolition shots, including the one above.
Can't say I ever saw any masterpieces at the National, but I did love the time warp feel I got when walking inside; I felt like it was 1981 all over again. Movies I did see there included "Private Parts" and one of the "Austin Powers" sequels.
It's always sad to see a large, single-screen movie theater go. RIP, National!
