i lived across the street from the Bailey showin the early 60’s. saw the first beatle movie there and got my first kiss there. this building was one huge place . there were many bussines’s there . next door was Nickies restaurant. on the 2nd floor to the right was RED CROWN bowling lanes THEY HAD 12 LANES , AND WAS ALWAYS BUSY .. further down toward genesee st was AST cleaners . and on the corner of BAILEY & GENNESEE WAS THE LEADER DRUGSTORE. WE USE TO GO HERE AND BUY 6 CANDY BARS FOR A QUARTER . THEN HIT THE SHOW FOR A QUARTER ALSO .. FIFTY CENTS IN THE 60/S AND WE WE wERE SET FOR THE DAY. I ALSO USE TO CLIMB ON TO THE ROOF AND THROW SNOWBALLS AT UNSUSPECTING PASSERBY’S . (THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY WERE COMING FROM . AS WE GOT A LITTLE MORE OLDER WE WOULD DISTRACT CARL THE MANAGER , BY TOSSING ROCKS AT THE SIDE DOOR CREATING NOISE FOR THE THEATRE PATRONS . WHEN CARL WENT TO CHECK OUT THE SITUATION . WE WOULD SNEAK IN THE FRONT DOORS AND CATCH WHAT WE COULD OF THE MOVIE. I CAN ALSO REMEMBER SEEING A SIGN ON THE DOORS OF THE SHOW TELLING PEOPLE TO RESIST CABLE TV . WE DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT WAS BACK THEN!! . MAN !! HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED . . ANY HOW . I HAD A GREAT TIME GROWING UP IN THIS SHOW AND NEIGHBORHOOD . AND WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THESE MEMORIES
