I have extremely vague memories of this theater but I DID go there as a small child. In the 60;s you could go there as a kid without needing a bodyguard. After 1970 the area became dangerous, the theater closed as it says in 1971. Does anyone have vide or photos of the interior and surrounding streets circa 1970? VERY hard to find. (for good reason)
Hello-I lived in this area growing up. I came across this page searching for images of torn down buildings since there is virtually no existing video of film footage of ENY area from the late 60’s and earlys 70’s. In fact there were only TWO known films shot in this area—the infamous Death Wish 3 (shot in 1984) and the pilot to the KOJAK TV series (Marcus Nelson Murders) Does anyone have links to predemolition/renovation photos of this area brownsville-ENY. I am trying to reconstruct an era the city would like forgotten.
