What is a YOLT? Well, you may have heard the term YOLO. Gary and Sherri think we can live again, not as James Bond, but as being reborn. Consequently, we are having fun in our life, after all, You Only Live Twice.

Local Registry ID: 171


Team: YOLT
Date:  September 15, 2013
Location:
Address: 944 Van Ness Avenue, Fresno


Description:
Date Built: 1917
Architect: W. D. Coates & H. B. Traver


The Liberty Theater opened in November 27, 1917 with a showing of “When A Man Sees Red”. Most recently, it housed the Spanish Evangelical Church. But in May 2011, the Grand Old Opry came to town and played here. So whether Fresnans know the theater as Liberty, Hardy or the Mexicalian, it has seen some pretty classing productions.
