raubre commented about Monroe Theatre on Apr 30, 2006 at 11:38 am

According to a Pittsburgh Press artcicle in 1983 the Monroe was located at 3813 William Penn Highway. According to a google search, it houses the India Garden Restaurant.

Correction, The Colonial was not located on Rt. 51, but on Elliot Rd. The Marquee was located on Rt. 51, but on the opposite side of Elliot, with a huge arrow pointing to the road.

It is strange. I don’t remember seeing the Rex until recently. Was it vacant in the 80s before its reopening?

That’s a cool looking theater. Looks like a gingerbread house almost!

I do have some good news. The historical society of Brentwood had a phone number. It direected me to the public library. They do have some pictures. The librarian said she can possibly help (even with the uplaoding of pictures.) I’ll keep you posted!

I’m going to see if the Brentwood public library may have a picture.

The name is so forgettable to me, I keep calling it the Kelly Clarkson Theater, shudder to think……….

On the last pic, note the name “Regent” still exists above the poster frame.

The following is a link to the theater. If you click on “History” you will find postcards that picture the old Regent.

Does anyone have a picture (past or present)? I wish to see the theater if I go to MB for a vacation.

This was a shame when it closed. Even though I was never in there, this puts a huge void in the Monroeville area. No theaters are left in the Monroeville business district. :(

I always loved Styx and this thread is so cool! Thanks for all the info!

raubre commented about Strand Theatre on Apr 22, 2006 at 10:33 am

The Mt. Oliver Theater building is still there. It now houses a religious congregation of some sort.

I heard somewhere the Strand used to have a bowling alley. Was it demolished? Apparently the address matches a Mexican restarant chain that hardly resembles a theater. Does anyone have any old pictures or photos of the Strand?

raubre commented about Garden Theatre on Apr 22, 2006 at 9:57 am

The theater is still open. very, dark and seedy inside. That is all I’ll say. ;)

I may be wrong, but I think this is now a travel agency?

Here is a picture of Warner Center (formerly the Warner Theater). The marquee is similar to what it used to be. The building is now sadly vacant as stated above.
