I worked in the Alan in the early 80’s, lots of great memories there. I remember when Valley Girls and Popeye played there. The manager at the time was Fred. He had that small office on the left side as you entered the theater. Sad to hear that there are no remnants of the theater left.
Wow, those names bring back a lot of memories. I worked in the theater in the early 80’s. I split my time between the Garden City Park East, the New Hyde Park Alan, and the Cinema in Manhasset. Lots of great memories. I remember when “The Outsiders” played at the Cinema. I also remember bringing in my homemade mixed tapes to play during intermission. Worked a lot with both George and Mary. George loved his coffee from the diner across the street. Mary was a lot of fun to work with. I remember selling the Toblerone candy bars and Cappuccino at the snack stand. I believe we had the Berzerk video game in the lobby at the time. I wish I saved some of those marquee letters, I had fun putting up the new movie names when I worked there. I still have movie posters somewhere around the house.
