I stumbled upon this site by accident and just spent a very pleasant couple of hours reading the many great posts and viewing the wonderful pictures.
I grew up arount the corner from the RKO Keiths on 35th Ave between Farrington St. and Linden Place. During the 1950s, I spent most Saturdays there with my friends enjoying countless movies. I have family still living in Flushing, so I pass the old RKO building about once a month. It is truly sad to see it decay.
Thank you all for the journey down memory lane. I will visit this site again.
