That is a great site, it has information on the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel. Has anyone heard about the Lost Atlantic Avenue Tunnel. Bob Diamond rediscovered the tunnel around 1980 and it is rumored that a locomotive is still behind the wall of the tunnel. Bob Diamond used to give tours of the tunnel. In 1995, I was lucky enough to take the tour with my sister. Unfortunately, he is not allowed to give the tours anymore and I don’t know if the MTA has dug through the tunnel to see if the train is there..
Woodhaven Lanes is considered located in Glendale Queens. You can take the E train to 71st & Continental -Forest Hills or take the M train to Metropolitan Avenue-Middle Village and take the Q54 Bus to Metropolitan Ave. and Woodhaven Blvd or drive. A couple years back there was talk that they were closing down but it never happened. They are always packed so I know they won’t be closing anytime soon.
PKoch, microwave popcorn and movies on demand seems more and more appealing. By the way I am planning on going to the movies next week any good movies you guys could recommend..
Anniegirl, that is something, it is a small world. We normally go to the matinee in Sunnyside and it is still $8.00 a ticket. I wouldn’t mind every now and then paying an extra $4.00 for them to bring the food to us. Do you know how many times I almost dropped the popcorn… Thanks
Thank you PKoch for your warm reply. micheleandanniegirl, I remember the Chinese restaurant, I had my confirmation party there when I was younger. After it closed down they made it into a karate place and it burnt down, now it is a Polish nightclub called the Europa. Bob D. I used to live two blocks from the bowling ally, my sister and I went there, she was on a league and it closed down just before I was old enough to get on. Bway I know what you mean, I take the kids to Woodhaven Lanes from time to time and it costs a small fortune…. Is anything cheap to do anymore?
I want to thank everyone for their comments. It is nice to see people talk about the history of Greenpoint. Unfortunately, I was unable to see the Meserole as a movie theater but I had so much fun when it was a rolling rink. I used to go to the Chopin until it went down hill. My mom and dad said that the Meserole was the greatest theater. At least I still get to see the disco ball. I really wish a movie theater would open up around here; I have to take my kids to Sunnyside. Does anyone remember the bowling ally on Meserole Avenue? It used to be a factory then a bowling ally now I think GMDC owns it. Thanks again for the comments and the pics, with all the changes going on it made me feel better to see and listen to some of the past.
