Quiz re: layoffs

I've been laid off from three jobs:

I managed a movie theater in Woodland Hills and was the odd man out during a consolidation.
I worked technical support (phone and email) for Quarterdeck (remember them?) in Marina del Rey as a contractor and was laid off when all support was moved to Missouri.
I was laid off from Internet Security Systems when they moved all Northern California operations back home to Atlanta.

Really? Which theater?

Topanga Theatre, 6360 Topanga Canyon Blvd (at Victory). This was in the early 90s.

There's a Crate & Barrel there now.

Awww!!! I went there in the early 90's all the time, as it was walkable from Canoga High. In the years after it closed I daydreamed about turning it into a rave/dance location.

Does that really count as Woodland Hills?

Well, according to Crate and Barrel's web site it is.

But according to Andrew's Google link, it is the city of Los Angeles "(near Woodland Hills)"

OMG, I think I saw the Santa Claus movie there (the one with Dudley Moore)
