It could have closed that Sunday. I was on Myrtle Avenue on Thursday and there was no sign advertising the space for rent, or if it was I missed it, but it seems as if it was put up overnight practically because by Friday afternoon, it was there. Native-Emailed you the photos

NativeForestHiller, took some photos today, the sign is still there, yet they vanished from my camera, I’ll give it a second go tomorrow. Warren, thats a great idea about the Daily News, just walking around the neighborhood yesterday you could see the shock on most peoples faces.

LostMemory, there were no movies listed on the marquee at all. There was a yellow sign that wrapped around the entire marquee advertising the space for rent. I will try to take a photograph of it tomorrow if that helps.

Okay no problem at all, I will find out all the information first thing tomorrow and email it to you. Hopefully it can be saved, it would be a shame to see it have the same fate as the Madison.

Hi, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Ridgewood is up for sale. There is a sign on the marquee that says “Retail Space For Rent.” This is a sad day. =(

If anyone lives in Ridgewood and is interested, the upstairs of the RKO, or rather “Liberty Department Store” now has been open to the public. Its a furniture showcase up there but the one time I was there recently, you could see through the doors where they bring stuff in from and the walls are a greenish paint color, or appeared to be, and its just interesting to look around and picture what it looked like before. :–)

Hey, I live in Ridgewood, pass the theater all the time! I definately could take some photographs, from the looks of it, the theater has been renovated from the exterior! Its more “up to date” shall we say. The posters on the sides of the entrance now list the show times, and there is a string of what looks like christmas lights on the ticket booth. Looks a little strange but it seems like its being taken care of now instead of deteriorating.

Hi, I remember going to daycare in that building in the late 80’s and last time I checked, about 3 years ago, it still was operating as a daycare center.
