I grew up in that neighborhood. Early to mid 80’s I was there every Friday night with friends for a double feature. If you knew the theatre- you knew that up front was a bad place to sit because of the rats. Don’t eat the hot dogs and chicken….and you’d be alright. And DO NOT bring a crying baby into the theatre as the tough L.E.S. crowd would in unison scream “SHUT UP!!!!"
Please if anyone has pics of the theater- post.
Awesome ad!!!
If anyone else has photos of the old Essex Theater- please please please post.
I’ve passed it about a million times. But does anyone have a photo of the theater that once stood there in the 80’s?
