I found this photo on wikipedia. It can be enlarged. I think that one of the buildings in the group of three down the street is the former Roxy, but it’s hard to tell as there isn’t much information available.

There is a Perkins Restaurant at 4370 Amboy Road. It’s not clear to me if the restaurant is in the old theater building or if the theater has been razed.

I’ve been to this shopping center a few times. Not too attractive, and the neighborhood is a little iffy. I wonder if the theater is making any money.
