I worked at a McDonalds in Philly when Ray Kroc decided to pay us a visit. You should have seen the McDonald’s bigwigs shaking in terror during his one hour plus visit.
I was in front of the Hard Rock yesterday. If I understand correctly, the marquee is a re-creation and not the original? Also the Paramount lettering on the building?
This site alleges that the building with the “for rent” sign is the former Allerton:

Not much. Thanks for steering the discussion back to the correct topic.
There is a photo of the theater as furniture store here:

I thought the before and after pictures matched up well.
The Joy is a restaurant called Stratengers. Function should be changed to restaurant.

I drove by today and saw the intact screen. It’s pouring rain, so I’m not stopping.
Same thing in Los Angeles. The downtown Warner was the Warren in the seventies.
Status should be closed/demolished.
There is a six screen thea(er called Rio Stadium at this address, according to an ad in the AC Press.
The old bank building next to the Rialto has been demolished. A new building now occupies both spaces.
The TGI Fridays is closed. There is a vacant lot adjacent which was probably the theater.
I saw a Cole Porter show at the Gateway about ten years ago. Does anyone have a preservation update since March 2006?
Movies are showing on three screens per today’s AC Press. Phone number is 609-399-0006. Advertised as Moorlyn Stadium Theatre.
Speed Racer is playing at noon and 3:30, and there is a nature documentary in between at 2:30. I think there’s only one screen.
Was Cinema 21 the last incarnation? If so, it should be listed as such.
No way. Not in that neighborhood.
How much?
