Dear Lost, you are right, that shoe repair was not there when I was a kid growing up in Williamsburgh. I remeber the hardware and goods store where the shoe store is now. It was a big store that had everything from soup to nuts.Anniegirl
Dear Lost Memory, When I went to the movie with my Mom I was only 6 years old at the time. I know the front door was a regular movie door and it had a marquee (small one) at that it only showed a limited movie at that time. As I recall you bought the ticket in the front that faced the street. It was a fond memory for me going to the Movie with my Mom and my Sister. It sure has changed, but the building remains the same.There was a large hardware and goods store to the left if you were facing the theater and a fancy dress store that was located in a sub basement to the right on Lee Ave. Anniegirl
I do not remember this movie. It was gone by the time I was a kid growing up in Williamsburgh in the 50’s. I do remember the Concord Cafeteria and the Bowling Alley next door and the Coat Store that was next to the Cafeteria. I am sure many of my Aunt’s friends would remember the Aster Theater. Anniegirl.
Dear Lost I used to go to this moviehouse with my mom. I have fond memories of this place. It was a small theater but as a child I thought it was big. They would give out dishes each week and collect funds for the Will Rogers foundation. I loved this place, but with the influx of religious Jewish people. The movie house closed. We then went to the Commodore or Republic Theaters in the neighborhood. Thanks for the pics of the building KenRoe. Anniegirl.
