As Roger Katz noted, the building still exists. I used to work a few doors down the street and frequented the stores there… the check cashing place is not connected to the theater… but the bodega and the tiny pizzeria are. Since 2nd floor space in AC is worthless, to my knowledge, only the first floor is utilized. The bodega is run by some Asians, but I can’t remember their names… and if you enter the store, you can see how the floor slopes like the original theater entrance. Also, in the back of the store is a normally closed passageway that when opened, you can see into the theater itself, with its floor sloped down towards the screen.
