Dear Koch, The Met was a top movie theater in Downtown Brooklyn. So was the Paramount and the Fox. But if you lived in the Greenpoint Area “ The Garden Spot of the World” the RKO Greenpoint was the Best. Anniegirl right Warren…Anniegirl

Dear Warren, I do not remember the Meserole being closed for any period of time in the 50’s, but I do remember going to the RKO Greenpoint with my Aunt’s when I was a kid in the 50’s. So It could have happened. It’s a mystery to me…….Anniegirl

Hi Warren, Bway, J.F., Lost, I had so much trouble logging on. I had to take out some things from my computer and re-register. Well do any of you guys remember a Womans Clothing store on the left and a Loft’s candy store on the right at Noble Street. We used to buy truffles before entering the RKO moviehouse. The Woman’s Specialty shop was not Rainbow Stores. This store was there in the late 50’s as I remember. anyway thanks for the pic’s a lot of memories for me…..My parents and aunts used to shop on Manhattan ave all of the time. I used to go with them many times to the Movies in Greenpoint rather than go downtown or manhattan……Anniegirl
