Why doesn’t somebody do something about the former Loew’s Kings
Theatre on Flatbush Ave., in B'klyn. The theatre has now been closed
for 28 yrs! It’s really is a pitty the way this once beautiful theatre has deteriotated. I’ve passed the theatre a couple of times-and wanted to cry every time.
Several yrs ago, Magic Johnson was supposed to turn the theatre
into a multi-plex. Thank God that didn’t materialize!! I’d rather see the place torn down. And it can’t even be torn down since it’s been declared a “landmark”!! One could only imagine what it looks like inside, after all this time.
So please somebody do something!!!
In the past couple of hours I’ve been reading all about the
“old” movie palaces. It fascinates me. I only wish that something
could be done with the “ones” that are still standing! Namely the
former Loew’s Kings, on Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn. The theatre has
been declared a “landmark” & therefore can’t be torn down. I have passed the theatre many times, & each time that I did so, I wanted to
“cry”. The theatre which has been closed for 28yrs now-is slowly
deteriorating! I shutter to think of what it now looks like inside.
I was such a beautiful theatre, & how it could of been allowed to
deteriorate the way it has, is way beyond me.
With everything that I have read about the theatre, there’s not
a single person that get’s the capacity right. The theatre has a
capacity of 4,200 seats! Isn’t there a person out there that will
come-forth and revitalize this “magnificate” theatre. I also shutter
to think that several yrs ago, Magic Johnson was supposed to come & make a “multi-plex”, out of it. I’d rather see the place torn down!!
To Whom it May Concern:–
