The ninety-nine year old Yost has sat semi\u00a0dormant for the past two decades; serving as a church and\u00a0sporadic host of live events during that period. Now, fresh off a pricey remodel and upgrade, Orange County&#8217;s oldest standing theatre will once again open it&#8217;s doors for full time entertainment purposes. Thus far, plans don&#8217;t seem to include any cinematic offerings, as the venue has been earmarked for live concerts and club use in this latest incarnation.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cinelog.org\/cinelog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/YostTheatre.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-817\" style=\"border: black 2px solid;\" title=\"Yost Theatre\" src=\"http:\/\/cinelog.org\/cinelog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/YostTheatre-300x209.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinelog.org\/cinelog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/YostTheatre-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinelog.org\/cinelog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/YostTheatre-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinelog.org\/cinelog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/YostTheatre.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The Yost&#8217;s rebirth has also come with a bit of controversy, as local activists and politicians have pointed to the venue as a flagship of downtown Santa Ana&#8217;s alleged gentrification. A hotspot\u00a0for Latino culture and commerce, for some fifty years, the\u00a0downtown area has been undergoing a transformation over the past decade; transitioning in to what critics have labeled an affluent &#8220;hispster&#8221; scene. As longtime Hispanic businesses begin to disappear, in favor of trendy outlets and art lofts, some have come to\u00a0question the motives behind these\u00a0changes. Still, there are others who feel this is a welcome change from the &#8220;armpit of Orange County&#8221; reputation the area had\u00a0suffered through and\u00a0welcome\u00a0downtown&#8217;s possible return to glory.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>In any case,\u00a0the Yost reopening it&#8217;s doors to the public is\u00a0certainly welcome news.
