I came upon this site by accident and had to look up Loews Paradise. I have very fond memories of my Mom taking me and my brother to the movies after a shopping trip to Alexanders. I was sad to see it close. The chances of the Paradise reopening are slim, not because it’s in the Bronx (the Bronx IS great), but because Fordham Rd. saw such a decline in the early ‘90s. Many area businesses small and large failed during that time. The Paradise thrived as long as Fordham Rd. was the place to shop in the Bronx. Too bad…it was a beautiful theater.
