For those who couldn’t come, I am glad to report our somewhat hastily-arranged first meeting as a success. We attracted five dedicated individuals from across Brooklyn, just from the notice on Cinema Treasures. With better weather (it was a downpour Saturday) and more outreach through and beyond the theater preservation community, I trust our small group will grow will futute meetings and events.
To be notified of future events, email me at flatbush AT gmail.com
Hope that you have contacted Flatbush Life, a division of the Courier News organization, for press coverage of this event. I cannot join you due to a pressing engagement, but wish you a successful meeting.
If you’re from NJ, I’ll presume you know where the Holland Tunnel is. Just take that, and follow Canal Street east to the Manhattan Bridge. The Manhattan Bridge leads directly into Flatbush Avenue, the closest thing Brooklyn has to a ‘main street’. Just follow Flatbush Avenue down to Linden Blvd, and the library will be on your left.
Of course we are still in the early stages of the organized effort, so I don’t know how much practical advice we could offer on black fabric spraypaint or such, but I think that our efforts do share common goals in the revitalization of a theater through its community and a community through its theater. It will be a great opportunity to share ideas on how to raise local interest, as well as how to get to the point of physical restoration (at the Kings I know there is a LOT of work to be done before that’s accomplished).
I am involved in trying to save the baronet theater in Asbury Park and I think it would be beneficial to attend your meeting tomorrow, please email me driving directions from NJ.
Thanks,
