That makes more sense. I was a little confused by the Kossuth St thing. Cypress Hills St and Myrtle is actually right where the Belvedere is/was. Perhaps the Skydome is where the Finast/Edwards/Stop N Shop building is now.
Would this Belvedere Skydome be the same as the Van Cortlandt Airdrome? I am trying to place the intersection. I believe Kossuth Place is now either 70 Ave or 71st Ave? Or was that a former name for Fresh Pond Rd (as I believe Fresh Pond Rd was originally in the alignment of Cypress Hills St is now).
In my opinion the address of record should correspond to that used when the theater was in operation. Hopefully, that would also agree with the address shown on original land use records, aubsequent tax records, and advertising media. Any inconsistencies, including for example, the building’s current address, should be cited by appropriate foot notes.
If I understand what Warren has said, I believe my opinion agrees with his.
Shalom, ciao, and excelsior
Not exactly accurate fella. You gave 3 addresses and you weren’t sure which one was correct. Besides; you gave the wrong address in the first place. It took both edsolero and lostmemory to sort out the correct address.
Thanx lostmemory. I understand perfectly. Perhaps the other fella would like to try and prove his claim. He recently claimed the address for the Bayside Theatre was incorrect. He was proven wrong about that address also. Some people just like to stir the pot when they have nothing of value to write.
So what. I thought the most modern up to date address was to be used so long as it is the same building.
Friedricks was the first store that occupied the building I believe. She actually repaired the building. I don’t remember what if anything was in the theater between when Friedricks closed, and when the church moved in.
Very cool link.
Silvio wanted to share with us. Perhaps Silvio isn’t aware of the Shore Theatre. You should not attack people because they want to share with others. That is mean spirited and rude.
Thanks for the url LM. The Belvedere was a few blocks east of fresh Pond Road, the same street that housed the Oasis. It was about halfway between the Acme and Glenwood on Myrtle Ave. All these theaters are on CT.
I have no idea why Silvio posted the url for Coney Island on the Belvedere page. Consider it a bonus.
Thanx Silvio. Which train could take you from mid town Manhattan to Coney Island? I would like to visit there and get a glimpse of the parachute jump.
The parachute jump amazingly was completely dismantled, restored, and reassembled a couple years ago. It has recieved landmark status, so now that it is restored, it should remain a fixture at Coney Island.
What does any of this have to do with the Belvedere Theater in Glendale, which is no where near Coney Island?
As for Jim, the Belvedere is/was on Myrtle Ave, at Cypress Hills Street.
Mikemovies: Coney Island is still open for business but the Parachute Jump has been closed for awhile as has Steeplechase park.
the Wonder Wheel and Cyclone is still open and running as well as a lot of other rides and the beach and boardwalk is still very popular in the summer.
Thanx for fixing the link. I have never been to Coney Island. Is it still open for business?
Much appreciated, LM!
64-28 Myrtle: What cross streets was the Belvedere between? And is that actually Glendale or still Ridgewood?
please post the url. there is no active link on my end, thanks
If there are movie buffs who want a list of all movies about or have scenes in Coney Island, click on Coney Island-1949 Map below.

The rest of the site is very interesting too. Enjoy.
I’m not fond of multiplexes either, but for better or worse, they are just as much a part of the cinema world as the beautiful historic “cinematreasures” are.
Yes, this appears to be a publicity thing to get people through the doors. I think the Ridgewood Theater’s days are numbered unless the current management does something.
thanks lost memory i am looking for 112 photos described by Robert R in the ANCO theatre site..can you help me?
to bway and lost memory….thanks i will give it a try is there a picture somewhere of the ridgewood theater’s “backside” showing the fire escapes?? i remeber sneaking in to the ridgewood up the entrance/exit stairs to the balcony (when the usher was not looking!!after all i saved as much as 25 cents admission back in 1945 keep up the good work with your postings andif you have any questions about my memories of any of the old theaters in the ridgewood..glendale..bushwick area…email me or use this site ..metz
I think cinematour is cool for research, and some information, but I never found any interest in their message board. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I read through them occasionally, and they seem a little bit too “into” it. I like theaters and all, but I’m not “that” into it like they all seem to be. A bit to serious for me.
This site is much more casual, and wouldn’t want it to be anything like the forums at cinematour. It’s not by “cup of tea” so to speak.
lost memory what do you know about"cinematour"“is it worth registering i understand some of you people have made comments on the"bulletin board…???
to lost memory///……the Majestic on Seneca is the only one of the three 3 that i never frequented for some strange reason considering i went to all the others in the negborhood from acme to wagner to monroe to oasis etc etc etc BUT iwas always struck by the similarity of the marquees…maybe some one has photos of them all so we can compare ….metz
