Here is a live camera link to the front of the Monroe.

Anybody know the status of the Waring?

Nitty,
If you go to www.rocpic.com you can see a live shot of the Monroe. The Riviera was the other one I could not think of. Just remember they showed porn . It looks like the Coronet is the only one that may be salvaged. I may be up ther in July, & if you want tohook up, we can contact the owner and see if we could go in just to photograph it. (I am a photographer) How aboutthe Waring? It used to be a single theater with a balcony. My first ever movie was there 101 Dalmations. I also saw
The Godfather (Man I was only 9 ! guess that’s why I became a gangster : ) )
Any confirmation if this is still open?

The Coronet was on Plymouth Ave. if memory serves me well. (I have been in Fl for 20 years+)
What kind of money would it take to re-open in it’s original format? I am not a buff on eqiptment, but is there anything that can be bought reasonably? (or donated by a sponser such as Kodak)
I’LL HOLD MY BREATH!
The Waring should be listed as well. How can this be done?

Nitty,
Is the Coronet still there? The Cinema has a real odd shape to it. I remember seeing “Soilint Green” there. Also, what kind of Martial Arts do you teach?

After reviewing the list from Rochester, I find the Waring Theater , Coranet, and Paramount? theaters missing. Also the Cinema on Clinton Ave. How can these be added?

I too grew up in Rochester, and used to go the Monroe on Saturdays in the 70’s to see Godzilla, War of the Gargantuas,etc.. You can see the current theater on a live camera here: www.rocpic.com
It’s sister theater I believe was the Coranet (Which I saw Enter The Dragon) If I remember correctly, they both showed X rated movies at one time or another. Would'nt it be cool to restore and open again?
(Probably a money looser in conservative Rochester)
