Dear Bob D I do not remember the rainbow theater, where was it located. the Commodore abandoned what a shame. That moviehouse was my Saturday hangout and also the Republic on Saturday’s. I now live on Long Island and the Multiplexes cannot compare to the old moviehouses of my youth. I miss them now. Anniegirl
‘Tonino I lived on 129th Street and Metropolitan Ave from 1973 thru 1995 and the skating rink was gone Glendale Bakery headquarters was there and now that’s gone too. But Jahns remains strong. I am 60 years old now but originally from Brooklyn, Williamsburgh to be exact. My Aunt’s moved to Kew Gardens in 1970 and they remember the roller skating rink and Jahns vividly. anniegirl
Hey does anyone who lived in the hood remember Louie’s Deli in Lee and Hewes street. From the movie looking south it was on the southeast corner next to the zipper hospital. Love my memory. anniegirl
Hi Lost Memory, I lived in this neighborhood all of my life. What a great place to grow up and I went to this moviehouse with my Mom we lived only 3 blocks away on Penn Street and Bedford Ave. anniegirl
You bet it was great I was a child of 10 12 13 14 15 going to the R&F on Saturday’s. Republic Bagels was directly across the street. Loved the hot bagels on the way home from the movies. yes even better than pretzels. Anniegirl

Dear lourom
I do not remember the Aster Movie but I do remember the Chase Buiding. It is sad that it is gone. I also remember the Concord Cafeteria and the Bowling Alley above the cafeteria. Do you remember Jim Diamonds Resturant on Roebeling Street and South 8th Street? right on the Northwest Corner? It was there in the 60’s I used to go to Franks Beauty Parlor on Broadway, the block before Peter Luger’s.

The enterance to the Theater was on Marcy Avenue and South 9th Street. There was a Rexall Drug Store next to the Theater at the time in the 50’s as I remember as a child of 10 and a candy store across the street facing Broadway. Anniegirl

The last time i visited Richmond Hill, Jahn’s was still opened but hardly any customers were there. You can park on the side of the rr tracks and yes the parking lot still belongs to Salerno’s. I know Joe and Nick they are brothers but one of them is gone now I think it is Joe but not sure. Elsie’s daughter Debbie is there in the Beauty Shop. If any of you guys go by stop by and tell Debbie Anniegirl says hello. anniegirl

Yeh I do but i forgot the name my Aunt had her Wedding Shower and Baby Shower there I will ask my Aunt if she remembers the name. It was on the same side as Mays Department Store EJ Korvetts was the old Oppenheimer and Collins Store. MY Aunt’s used to get their hair permanants done at Oppenheimer and Collins. The store was located west of Martin’s department store Anniegirl.

I used to live in Kew Gardens and go next door to Elsie’s Beauty Parlor to the right. The Keiths is now a Bingo Hall and Flea Market. the Resturant on the right corner is Salerno’s Italian Resturant. Ande Jahn’s Ice Cream parlor on the left. I am louieb’s wife. I lost my password and had to re-register. When I was a kid, we came to the Jahn’s but the Richmond Hill Movie was closed. Too Bad all of these moviehouses close. They have such history. SAD.
