I’m saying goodbye. I think we all should. i posted my email address. someone come up with a chatroom idea and email it to me; and anyone who wants to get in, provide your email and before you know it, we’ll find “another hangout”. The Embassy was a good place, this has become a bad one. Anything that makes ME feel badly or insulted is NOT good.
See you all someplace else in here. It was fun. tapeshare.com is a good site for our old memories/stories. the guy Rick who runs it is also very nice.
By Warren and Howard.
I hope your site empties out as you wish.

Hi again from JoAnn. Warren, you asked for “an official statement by management on what is considered acceptable subject matter for this listing”. Wait…Aren’t YOU Management?? Aren’t YOU the one in control of this website??
Why are you so mad that people are using this site to talk (1) about the Embassy Theatre memories and (2) chats that are sprung therefrom?
Where did you come from, by the way, back then? Are you an old East-New-Yorker yourself? Did you/do you have ownership of the Embassy Theatre as we knew it? Did you ever EVEN GO THERE TO SEE A MOVIE??Or are you a shareholder of this website, which would thence give you the power to make your comments heretofore? I think that if any of the aforementioned apply, you’d be screwing yourself in your efforts to squash what’s been going on in here.
I’m trying to be very polite and diplomatic here. Would you do me a big favor and honor a request (brought forth above) to POST a picture of the old Embassy Theatre as we knew it? I would cherish that picture and even put it as my ‘screensaver’, and pass it on to what would amount to about 100 more east new york people who would then, enter this website and post comments, and thus, render themselves vulnerable targets of your relinquishments?
Again, please tell me, what IS your interest in this website, aside from keeping people OUT of it, if they dare NOt mention the words “Embassy Theatre”, every time they write.

I don’t wish to offend Warren in here, so please direct emails to me at
Warren, I went in here to look up something from my past – the Embassy Movie Theatre. A very important part of my past. It’s kind of hard when you see old, long-lost friends' names and not get all excited and start chatting. The Embassy was something we all had very much in common. Talking about it just sprung up a whole bunch of other conversations.
I DO appreciate your concern and am therefore providing my email above. I hope you’ll not mind if other people do that too, and then perhaps the ‘off-topic’ postings will cease.
That’s the best I can do to help. But in closing, once again, thanks for the Memories of the EMBASSY!
okay joanne, now i do remember you also being there; marsha was my brother’s friend from the old days on some porch on logan street i think, it was at zebra’s in copiague we all met about 2 years ago, that’s where we went to see the gapwilson band when they first got back together, they are still playing 2x a month, we can tell everyone in here that those guys are from e.n.y., go to gapfans.com and everyone can check them out and see who they remember in the band plus, come and see them play and get together with a lot of old friends who are from the area.
and to richie trupia, i already have denise’s email, i talk to her all the time

Richard Trupia you are Denise’s brother and she is my very good friend! This just can’t be! I am still friends with her now! You remember me as “JoAnn and Lorraine”
She is married to Teddy, so you know I’m tellin the truth here. How funny is this?
And for the record, I graduated from Bishop McDonnell 1971
ah so sorry as Paula just emailed me – maybe a bunch of people can do like we did in the old concert days and ‘just stand outside’ and wait for people to come out ha ha and get a glimpse, say hi
you know it’s nice that this “embassy” website lets us chat in here, i was wondering – how much WAS it to get in there back in the mid-60s? does anyone remember the matron – the old woman with the very curly light blonde hair and white matron outfit and flashlight? I DO, and I remember the thrill some people (not me of course) would get from sneaking IN the side door! the whole place would light up for about a minute with the sunlight and then that lucky person would be in a seat somewhere.
Big reunion planned Saturday June 28, 2008 for any and all ENY people at LaBella Vita, Ozone Park NY Queens, 718 835 6161 to verify if you’d like, it’s $45/person and it was organized by a gal named Paula Smith Sorvillo, is her email. It initially began as a Franklin K. Lane alumni early 60s grad thing. From what I hear people are flying in from all over the USA to go to this
patty are you related to John Sindone? Can’t figure out why that name is so familiar. I come from class of 1967 Blessed Sacrament and lived on Ridgewood & Norwood, hung out at cordes late 60s early 70s, also went many times to Embassy Theatre (saw “help” there – most notable memory) reconnected recent years with several dozen of my BSS classmates. also someone in here mentioned John Natoli, well he was the principal where i now work in 2000-2001 then retired. small world. also remember Judy from Cordes and the 2 brothers she worked with behind the counter.
enjoyed reading everyone’s stuff in here so i signed up.
I saw nothing creepy aside from 2 killjoys.
