I grew up directly across the street (71 Shove) from 1973 until long after the screen went dark in 1982. I used to watch movies from my window, or from out in my yard until they planted trees and put up higher fences. Us kids always found a way to enjoy the movies though! It was a predominantly Portuguese neighborhood, close knit. The old Ponta club was across the street where feasts were held every summer. The weekend traffic to the theater back in its heyday would fill Shove St. some evenings.. Great memories…
