My brother worked at the Burger Chef in Absecon, which became a Burger King (and still is, I believe). I didn’t know there was a Burger Chef in Northfield as well.
This photo shows the Standard Theater at 1130 South Street. The damage is from Hurricane Hazel in 1954. I believe the only theaters listed for South Street are the TLA and the Royal. If I’m wrong, let me know: http://tinyurl.com/javrw
This 1977 photo shows a theater on Ridge above Lyceum in Roxborough with the partial name “MAN”. I looked at the Philadelphia list and only saw the Goldman on 15th in Center City. Any info on the identity of this theater would be appreciated: http://tinyurl.com/j3zc3
I have a photo from the same source of the Teatro Puerto Rico on 6th and Diamond. If anyone knows of the previous incarnation under which this theater may be listed, please let me know. Thanks.
Sorry about the egregious spelling. I hit submit instead of preview.

Remember Gene Hart, the voice of the Flyers? He was the announcer and de facto GM of the Aquarama in the sixties.
