I remember living back in bklyn, late 70’s the avalon played
one particular film for close to 1yr STARWARS, the original movie
even 6months into its running the lines would wrap around the
building. then around 1978 or 1979 there was a race riot on kings highway. I believe that the avalon took some damage that day
along with the restaurant that was on the northwest corner of E16th street and kings highway, and many of the stores under the “L” for the D train. those were some crazy days back then.
