I went to Jordan High School on N. Atlantic Ave. back in the late fiftys and used to walk by the Crest and the Atlantic Theaters every school day. Nearly every weekend my brother and I would go to the either the Crest or the Atlantic (which is still there although not as a Theater) but I can’t believe the Crest was torn down, it was very luxurious and you got a sense of wonder when you were there. I got kicked out once when I played a miniature one inch long Harmonica during the movie. Wish I could go back in time and see it before it was demolished.
See my comment on the Crest Theater page.
Spent a lot of time in the Atlantic.
