The marquee was on the building of The Listening Room. Doing some research it appears The Listening Room moved to a different location, and on their website they state that the mural was up until 2014 and they have a video of the lighting ceremony. Going down to street view I cannot locate the marquee anywhere so it appears that this one is lost.

I used to work there in 1978-79 If you remember the lights around the snack bar were blue in color. I still have some of these lights at my dads house in my bedroom. The drive-in burnt down and I got the lights out of the old building before they rebuilt the new one. I was working in the snack bar stand out side the building when I quit working there. I was walking home and stopped at bill Knapp restaurant and got a job there. Wow have times changed!!
