I lived near the Parkide Theater. It was still in busines in the
mid 50’s. Closed either late 50’s or early 60’s and the property
became an A&P. I remember walking in the A&P and could still see
the projection booth in the rear of the store. It was a nice little
theater.
Back in the late 50’s, early 60’s it showed most foreign and “art” movies.
The el ran near the OTHER Rogers Theater; not the one on Rogers Ave.
