24th Street Theatre

* I was thrilled to see your front-page article, “Residents Say Coliseum Area Is Blooming” (May 31), which informed readers about an area of their city, while having nothing to do with a murder or sensationalistic crime. One small correction, though. The area around USC is being refurbished so rapidly that your story envisioned a “village with a theater” someday. Well, it’s already there; the 24th Street Theatre has been presenting professional theater on 24th and Hoover since the end of April.
