Fruitvale Hall

This deco era building is tucked between International Blvd. and the Fruitvale BART station.  I don't know who plays bingo here or when.  Bingo isn't my game but I wouldn't mind visiting to see if there are any deco flourishes left inside.
(One of these days I need to learn to pay attention to flare).

    I follow another blog where she has gone inside bingo parlors and took pictures of those playing bingo. Great stuff as bingo really draws in some characters.

    Gorgeous old Deco building, I too would love to go inside, sadly, bet it was gutted long ago and probably looks like all you would expect in a bingo parlor.

    I am glad that the building itself has been preserved. We have a similar vintage building in Mobile and it is an antiques/bric-a-brac shop.

    Bises,

    Ah, wonderful building and great find. Agree, it would be worth a bingo game to see the inside!
