Hi everyone!
Just saw these post on the Hillside Theatre. I lived in jamaica from ‘73 to '85, on 88th ave., yes the street with the cobblestones(really just red bricks). I Never knew there was a hillside theatre there on jamaica avenue. It was gone by the we arrived there. I remember nedicks and a little newsstand located underneath the train steps, i rememer buying the shadow #1 by Dc comics from him. there was also a bookstore across the street that you could buy old comic books in a big brown shopping bag, he would keep behind the counter, and only if a parent was with you. There was also a woolworths around the corner, thats where i bought my aurora models. The theatre we mostly went to was the RKO keiths on main street. Good Memories lol!
