What a horrible booth to work in the 90’s

Just realized I forgot to include the link
I’m shocked to read on this site that Star Wars played the Lawrence in 70mm. I never thought this was a top house.
A bit of a dump in a noisy, ugly, congested area of Rockaway Boulevard (isn’t the whole roadway like that? Is this not the ugliest stretch of road in Nassau County?). Anyway…I saw a lot of movies here in the mid 80’s but the place was not well maintained. The surprising thing about it was that you would think that the clientele from the affluent 5 Towns would expect/demand more. Ugh. This was in such an ugly area.
ANOTHER question: There was a really nice single screen movie theater located (I believe) on the “main drag” in Cedarhurst. It was right on the street but I don’t see it listed here on this site. It closed in the mid 80’s I think. I was a beautiful theater. I saw only two movies there: “The Deep” in 1977 and “Grease” in 1978. I remember the seats in the balcony were big, plush and rocked like the stadium seats do now. Does anyone remember this place?
THE talk was this theater was going to add on nothing ever came of it.. not sure why this closed.
I’m suprised business fell off here, there was not really any theatres around until you drove to Rockville Center or Valley Stream.
always did good bsns for RKO
This theatre was actually twinned in 1968 and then triplexed later on.
ugh .This was RKO ugly
