Well, I live in Danbury, so I biked to Bridgeport, took the ferry to Port Jeff and biked to Orient State Park and then spent the nite in Greenport. Total mileage for that day was 110. Next day was 80 miles.
I agree with LostMemory. I passed by this on my bike on a Long Island trip on Saturday. Saw the sign right away. The original pic he posted is newer looking. The top and bottom of the marquee are there but with no letters and “Drive-INT” remains.
I was there on my bike trip on Saturday. Love this place. I took a bunch of pics outside and inside. Nobody seemed to care. I will post them on CinemaTour, but if anyone wants me to email them the 8 pics, I will gladly do so.
Was in Greenport on a bike trip, Saturday evening into Sunday morning. Cool place. Nice facade, strains your neck to get a full shot with marquee since it’s a narrow street. The MetroEast Cafe is open too. Nice place.
I totally forgot someone on here took pics. I was racing my bike to catch the train last nite and went right past it. Had my camera in my pocket. The building is indeed very nondescript, almost the size of a small gentleman’s club.
Passed this the other day. The “marquee” is no longer there and indeed there are lots of apartments there. Balconies on either side of the auditorium, you can’t even tell it was a theatre. Nice conversion. Great looking apartments, roomy parking in the rear.

The name of the music store is Stolen Moments, but the address is 39 Cedar and yet you and CinemaTour have 32 Cedar Street.
I did on my last trip last summer. I took tons of pics, they are at CinemaTour.com

Oh, I don’t really care about shopping center cinemas to take pix.

Didn’t notice a storage area, just walked inside the store.
Did not have time to go to the Library, as I was having way too much fun to remember!

Saw this on my bike trip yesterday. Nice small sandwiched place. I went around back to snap pix since CinemaTour has pics but not of the rear.

There’s a theater in Hudson, NY that was also called the Tennis Auditorium. Any others like this in the country? Strange.
i will be there on a bike trip. i’ll try to check the city directory.
Actually, forgot to post, but it wasn’t an article, just a letter to the editor bitching.
Slight mention in CT Post.
