You know, I went there for the first time this year and I was impressed by the size of the theaters. It must have been something in the old days. I saw The Alamo there last week and the theater was huge, although the projection and sound were poor. There were a couple highschoolers working there. I couldn’t stop thinking about how that theater could be better used if spruced up a bit. I’d love to see pictures of the old interior. The theater still has phone booths. I was thinking about getting a part=time job there this summer.
Trivia question: When it was a twin theater…which theater was Century paramus 1 and 2. The top(converted bacony?) or bottom. It’s a matter of time before they knock this down too. I’ve never seen the parking lot full/
I am shocked this theatre is still open. With a little shining up and some renovations it could be a nice place.
I am not sure when this theater opened(it must have been some time during the ‘60’s.)It was a luxurious single screen theater when I started going to it. Shortly therafter it became a antiseptic triplex which was unfortunate because it awas quite a pleasure to go to. May that vanishing world quickly vanish along with all the cineplexes.
Boy was it depressing during the 70’s to seen all those wonderful theaters cut up to show the various teen slaughter and gross out fests.
