I just recently moved to Ridgewood back in March and was disappointed to learn that the token sketchy movie theater had closed almost immediately after I had settled.
As the months passed by and nothing seemed to be happening with the site, I began to grow curious. I started researching the theater and was AMAZED at how much information is out there about The Ridgewood and it’s impressive history. I had no idea, upon first glance, that it was such a significant part of the community’s legacy.
Unfortunately, John D.’s report of the site today is pretty accurate. I walk by it every day and although there has been some recent activity in the lobby area, it doesn’t look too promising. The “box of toys” comment is spot on- there is literally a gray bin of toys sitting just outside the lobby doors. Strange!
Now that I know there is such a large group following the potential re-opening of this landmark, I’ll be sure to make updates as I see them! Here’s to hoping I’ll be able to see inside one day soon!
