I lived about one block away from the Vernon Theater. If I recall correctly, the Vernon Theater closed in 1957 and the last feature playing was The Incredible Shrinking Man. I still have not gotten over the shock of its closing. I spent most of my youth in that theater, it was truly a neighborhood theater with most of the residents of Hunter Point attending everyday.
