  • <p>I worked in the office building next to this location from 2005 to 2022 before we moved to a location off of vineland. The theatre had already shut it’s doors by then but I used to frequently walk the Republic square shopping center during lunch. Sometime the wife and kiddos would come and meet me and we’d take them into the little Russian grocery shop next to the theater and buy them the little ice creams in the cooler. Unfortunately, over the years I watched the movie theater degrade before eventually being condemned. A few years back they demo’d the entire shopping center and turned it into apartments. The picture I posted is one of the many I took just before it was torn down.</p>
