It was announced that Pacific and ArcLight theaters—including the historic Cinerama Dome—will not reopen after the pandemic.

Filmmakers shared their memories of the beloved venues.

Via @jenyamato @indiefocus latimes.com/entertainment-…

"That’s what the ArcLight was — a community. Yes, it was about the movies — but not entirely. It was about the people who came to the ArcLight to watch the movies," says @itslizhannah, who also has strong feelings about the popcorn latimes.com/entertainment-…

"So. Many. Memories. So. Many. Friends. Strangers. Fellow Film lovers."

Jon M. Chu (@jonmchu) told us an amazing story about the 1st premiere for his 1st feature film ever, which took place at the ArcLight latimes.com/entertainment-…

.@YoungerTV, created by "Sex and the City" and "Emily in Paris" veteran Darren Star, began as a millennial gag — but its bridging of generational gaps made it a classic, says @LATimesTVLloyd latimes.com/entertainment-…
The series, which premiered on TV Land in 2015, stars a 40-year-old divorcée who passes herself off as 26 to get a job at Empirical Press, restarting the career in publishing she left decades earlier as a young mother latimes.com/entertainment-…
Like “Sex and the City,” @YoungerTV is built mainly around its women.

Few workers are in a rush to go back to their office buildings, data show.

But employers are betting that workers will want to return as vaccinations increase and virus fears recede.

@rogervincent reports: latimes.com/business/story…
An average of 24% of employees in 10 major U.S. cities were back to the office as of April 7, down nearly a full percentage point from the week before, according to Kastle Systems. latimes.com/business/story…
The worry for landlords is how much space tenants think they need going forward and whether they still want to work in city centers that many can reach only by long commutes. latimes.com/business/story…

@mattdpearce explains latimes.com/entertainment-…
José Delbo, 87, has been isolated and lonely during the pandemic, his family says.

On Friday in Washington, D.C., a bicyclist was killed in a multi-car crash after getting hit by a driver.

For energy reporter @Sammy_Roth, it was personal — the cyclist was a friend of his, Jim Pagels. latimes.com/environment/ne…
As @Sammy_Roth explains in the latest edition of Boiling Point, Jim is one of roughly 850 bikers and 6,200 pedestrians who will likely be killed this year in traffic collisions in the U.S., based on recent years. latimes.com/environment/ne…
Jim’s final tweet — sent a few hours before his death — lamented D.C.'s shortage of safe pathways for cyclists.
