“Who said Plainview is a village? The mention of Clearview Village related to a development that is located off of South Oyster Bay Road."

Ikea is only on part of what was the Twin N/S, The downtown theatre lasted longer than the Twin N/S, so N/S did not replace it.

Yes, the Cine Capri was the Old Bethpage theatre. It was like the mini-cinema in Uniondale I remember going there to see “Romeo & Juliet” on a school trip. By the mid 70’s it became an alternative movie house, showing concert movies, rock movies. Did a lot of business during the winter, as it was cheap and the local kids would go there basically to smoke dope inside(smoking was allowed, back then), they even sold pipes and rolling papers at concession.

Century Plainview was located on west side of S. Oyster Bay Rd.
THAT is HICKSVILLE! Plainview did not start until the east side.
Plainview is a community not a village.

That is a fact, Bets will be accepted
