The Village Theater is a classic movie theater that opened in 1947 and still caters to a variety of island audiences. It has hosted the Coronado Island Film Festival since its inception in 2016. This intersection was also once home to the magnificent house of renowned opera singer Ernestine Schumann-Heink (1861–1936) at 800 Orange Avenue, now occupied by the Union Bank. The house had been built for the lawyer H.L. Titus, a business associate of J.D. Spreckels. Across Orange Avenue from this house and the Village Theater was the Texaco gas station, another bygone facet of daily life in Coronado’s history.

Art Outside the Box: Take 2 is the second iteration of artful wraps on the Caltrans signal boxes along Orange Avenue in Coronado. This project, a collaboration sponsored by the Coronado Cultural Arts Commission uses historic photographs featuring scenes from the surrounding area which are enhanced graphically with pops of color. The photo selection was completed by Coronado High School interns at the Coronado Historical Association (CHA) using historical images that reside in their collection, and graphics were done by Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) interns.
