I may have never been to the Beacon, and my argument may have been weak, but I sent an E-Mail to above address.

When did the Palace become a Broadway Theatre?

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THAT MEETING? I suggested this site to Bruce 1 because I thought we could help! We have a bunch of positive things on the location as a business. Me, I even plan to come from Holtsville, Long Island to help! I may be doing it in my new classic 1975 Caprice. HOWEVER, WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER! We need to decide where to meet. We have a good business site, which is to say an excellent site for what we want to do.

Well that’s what you get when you look at urban problems from a suburban perspective. I may live on Long Island (even though some people want me to move to another called Staten), but you can take the boy out of Brooklyn, but you can’t take Brooklyn out of the boy.

Mr. Gibbs;
I did not see your name on the Paramount page. Maybe you may also want to go over there and join the chat. cinematreasures.org/theater/618 is the section. I am a person who wants to get the Paramount and Loew’s Kings back in operation (Even though I am too young to remember the Paramount).

Oh come on Bruce 1 and Astynax;
There is someone from Long Island who believes in it. I also think that the whole transportation thing is outrageous. I went to Brooklyn College for a while. The Flatbush Avenue Bus passes the Long Island Railroad. I have been living on Long Island since 1974, and went to the college in the eighties. Sometimes I would take this bus to the Junction of Flatbush and Nostrand. It would pass the Kings. Furthermore, we have performing arts centers out here, and the transportation system, they say, is worse then the city’s. There would be some walking distance from the Patchogue LIRR Station to the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, and the only other choice you would have is taxis. However, this theater, which was a vaudeville house that turned to movies before closing, reopened in the middle 1990s, and we are proud of it. The theater is also surrounded by parking and people usually ignore the “no theatre parking” signs to go there. The perceived lack of transportaion to the Kings is really a moot point if you consider that people can get there with public transportation. If people want to go there, they will go there. It all depends, really, on the entertainment we place in there. They say that if you build a better mousetrap they will come. I think all we have to do is build a better entertainment mousetrap and they will walk from the station or, park their cars in the lot despite some protest if any (then again, there may not be any protest). In short, lack of transportation does not mean lack of audience. It all depends on what’s playing and not the number of walking steps. I hope I didn’t offend anyone.

Looks like I am going to be spending some time upgrading the Loew’s Kings site if I can. Will the college let me into the site during finals week, I don’t know. If this is true about the Kings Demolition, then the people need to know about it.

Aren’t there some storefronts on either side of the entrance? They could be turned into offices easily.

I rarely find myself saying this because I don’t go for this sort of thing, but should we form a picket line?

Roe 5685;
I also thought of Movieland, which is on Route 112 in Coram, and the PJ Cinemas on the same road in Port Jefferson. They are also smaller theatres.

I was thinking that we may want to get our feet wet with the Paramount then go to the Kings. You see, the Paramount is supposedly in better condition, and probably an easier restoration job. This would be practice for when we revitalize the Kings. Also, assmuming they both open, the two largest theaters in Brooklyn would not be in competition with each other, but working together for concert dates.

uncleal923 commented about New Children's Book, Old Theater on May 12, 2005 at 3:58 pm

I have never read the book, but I know it may be perfect for the kids who have learning disabilities. The book is about Walt Disney, who, according to some websites, had a possible case of A.D.D., or Dyslexia. Disney’s work may serve as an inspiration to them. I am not a teacher, but a person with A.D.D. I believe that children can face challenges head on. Also Dyslexia is something that can be overcome with proper schooling. These children really need to know that they have enough intelligence and, enough “outside of the box” thinking to achieve greatness.

Guys, I normally submit without previewing. The second one is correct. The Regal is in Ronkonkoma.

What about the Regal in Ronkonkoma That’s on Portion Road, and not that far from Patchogue. Just head North on Nicolls Road, and take Portion Road East for maybe a mile or two.

One day I may take a trip to the Loew’s Jersey. Is there a train station near it?

We may not have to be that faithful either. There may be some items that can’t be found or repaired. However, close is better thatn nothing.

You can try to fight the zoning laws. However, if worse comes to worse, you can always go to the Island 16 in Holtsville.

The Loew’s Kings is in Brooklyn, not New Jersey. Thanks anyway TC.
