I forgot about that slope in the floor! It was so pronounced that you had to be careful setting a drink or anything that could tip over onto it. I mean, I’ll be real honest, by the time I started going here on my own in the mid 90s, it really wasn’t in great shape. But I found everything about it charming, even the weird mildew smell.
As far as the renovation, they’ve obviously run into many issues, the most recent being Covid, and two years into the process, it still looks a couple months off from being operational.
I love this theater more than I can possibly explain. Movies are pretty much my favorite thing in the world and this is the place where my love of them really took hold. I’d save my allowance and pedal my bike from my parents house on buffalo avenue to see whatever they had playing. I’ve thought long and hard about trying to purchase the theatre and get it operational again, but I’m not a wealthy person so I’d need investors. If anyone has a million bucks or so sitting around (I’ve got to imagine it needs a lot of work after the hurricane) and wants to talk logistics, feel free to get in touch haha.

I have a strong memory of seeing a movie here with my father in August of 1989. I guess that would have been right before it closed?
