The Boro closed December 26, 1949 with “Mother is a Freshman” and “Thunder in the Pines.”

I’ve been waiting over two years and I still don’t know what the Boro Theater looked like!

Now I know where to buy a stamp in Roxborough/Manayunk. What I don’t know is what the theater looked like when it was open!

It’s still a post office. The function should be changed accordingly.

The building is still there, with the marquee. When the Boro closed, it was converted into a retail store. Today, it is the Roxborough Post Office (19128). The marquee is still being used, but as a sign, not for lettering. This theatre was right across the street from the Roxy Theatre (closed and demolished) at Ridge and Leverington Avenues.
