Thank you for sharing Los Angeles Theatres !

The Gardena Cinema, 14948 Crenshaw Blvd., Gardena -- Looking down a flooded aisle last week. It's a photo shared by Judy Kim on Instagram. Some of her comments:

"This was our theatre this past Sunday, 5/31, after a pipe burst in our women’s restroom causing flooding in the bathroom, auditorium & lobby! We had to cancel screenings over the past couple of days, but our plumber thankfully stopped the flooding and fixed the pipe/plumbing issues in said bathroom. Unfortunately, it was a costly fix, in the low 5 figures. As a family owned & volunteer operated independent cinema, that is just barely getting by as it is, this was a costly setback for us. We’re now raising money to help cover a portion of the repairs..."

She's looking for donations to help with the repair bill. See the theatre's Instagram feed for a link to get to a donation page: https://www.instagram.com/gardenacinema
