Was the Paramount ever used to sell sporting goods? This is from a site detailing the history of Staten Island:

Just beyond [on Bay Street] is the site of Commodore Vanderbilt’s childhood home. It was demolished in 1922 to make way for the Paramount Theatre, which today houses a sporting goods store. This was “The Commodore’s” Childhood home. With his mother’s encouragement he began his first venture in shipping by purchasing and offering for hire a small sail craft. He was born on Long Island. After marriage he built a Greek Revival mansion nearby.

I would post the current establishment’s website here, but as I have already been excoriated on another page for being prurient and salacious, I’ll leave it alone. Look it up on Google.

Here is a photo of the American Theatre in Casper (note the name change). The building appears to be similar to that as shown in the photo above.

kencmcintyre commented about Rosslyn Theatre on Mar 3, 2006 at 5:42 pm

I have visited the following website many times for its exhaustive details on Main Street, block by block. Nary a mention of the Rosslyn Theater, although this history may pre-date the theater’s existence. It’s a puzzle.

Take a look at this map, circa 1950. The Rosslyn Theater is shown on Main between 4th and 5th:

Regarding the above discussion on human foolishness, you only have to look at the 2003 nightclub fire in Rhode Island to realize that human nature doesn’t change much in a century.

$40,000 Canadian? How much is that for us? It sounds like a bargain either way.

kencmcintyre commented about Tilton Square Theatre on Feb 27, 2006 at 2:46 pm

The supermarket was an A&P, not a Shop Rite, after I thought about it for a while. This would be in the late 60s. There was another A&P in Pleasantville and a small one in Absecon around that time.

There’s plenty of information on this film on the usual search engines. It doesn’t look like it’s available on DVD at present.
