I was a really little kid when my brother would take me to the Garden on a hot summer day. My parents took me to see Thunderhead, Son of Flicka. What a thrill. My friend, Danny, hid under his seat when we went to see a horror movie. I remember hiding under my sheets and checking the closet after seeing a Frankenstein movie at the Garden. I remember it being a very long walk from our house that was on 144th Road off Farmers Blvd by N. Conduit Ave. I used to go skating at the rink when I was a bit older. Don’t remember if the Garden was still there. Would have been in the late ‘50’s.

I thought for sure they would show the old Valencia Theater on Jamaica Ave, Jamaica, Queens, NY. It was a fabulous old movie theater. A sister theater is the State in Kalamazoo, Michigan. When I went there for a concert I was so surprised to see that it had the beautiful night sky above and grandeur of the Valencia designed by the same architect.
