Warner Grand Needs to be a Local Asset

In the June version of "San Pedro Today" the editor, Josh Stecker, does a good job of telling the community that the Warner Grand is a great local asset that is under utilized. What the editor does not mention is that the Warner Grand is expensive and does a poor job of reaching out to the community to house events. A great example is how South Shores Elementary School goes to Dominguez Hills for its annual production. Even last summer's Scalawag Productions needed some intervention from the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce to make it financially viable. Basic economics would say if you want more people to use your product, you should lower the price. You can sell more donuts at $1/per compared to $5/per. So if you want more utilization of the Warner Grand, and you want to increase traffic into down town, then the Warner Grand should lower its prices and help draw in the local community. Josh is correct, the Warner Grand is a great local asset. We just need the Warner Grand team to find a way to lower the price and help draw in the local community so downtown will become the go to spot it should be.
