CINEMA WEST BOULEVARD CINEMA 12
Petaluma, California

The Boulevard 12 is Cinema West's flagship multiplex and the first new movie theatre to open in Petaluma since 1990. Now Petalumans no longer have to leave town to see a movie in a cinema (The Pacific Petaluma 8, the 1990-opening theatre was demolished in 2003 as was the Cinema West Washington Square 5). This is the theatre you probably have read about that made national news about the seven Girl Scouts (dubbed the "Superb Seven") that worked to get a theatre built in downtown Petaluma. This is the fruit of their hard work and lobbying.
