havent commented since 06. i moved back to maspeth as i stated in my above comment. i always go to the cvs that is where the oasis used to stand. love reading the latest texts. wasent the Madison theater on myrtle ave?
i saw the movie Donnie Brosco at the Trylon or was it Silance of the Lambs? i forget but it was one of those two.does anyone know if one of those didnt play there as to which it would make me certain of which film i saw there and which one i didnt
MichaelFef where is your music studio located? does anyone remember WEISES(wices) cvandy store a few block away from the oasis.it was on fresh pond rd going towards grand(flushing) ave? i used to get my comic books there.it was on the same side as the theater. there was also another candy store on the corner of fresh pond and elliot ave.it was on the other side of the street.i forget the name of it.does anyone remember the name?
mays turned into tri-county flea market.levittown theater was right across the street from there. i saw unforgiven there in 91/92 so the theater had to have closed down sometime after that (not 87/88).the building is still standing today.the free standing twin was the ua meadowbrook up the road about a mile(across the street)….my father says the same thing Joe( about the newsreels, and all of the cartoons, the westerns and the double features)….memories are great and sad at the same time………. sort of like this old movie theater
i went to christ the king high school which is across from the old robert hall…they also had a police academy in that robert hall site.is the academy still there?
do any of you guys have any pictures of the old Oasis theater on Fresh Pond rd in Maspeth Queens.i would love to see an old picture of that one.(also the Arion on metropolitan ave. what town was the arion in
Once, I recall walking northwest on Wyckoff Avenue from Putnam Avenue to Palmetto Street, and seeing the Twin Towers on the horizon, in a low gap between buildings on Ridgewood Place and the Myrtle Avenue el, thereby confirming the World Trade Center to RKO Madison Theater sightline.

saw Live and Let Die in 1973. they showed midnight movies for a while than went back to porno.a hooker propisitioned me in the parkinglot once.i live around the corner from the place which is why i was there.its better now that its a CVS.i always wished they were a regular movie theater.there is a good place to park with your girlfriend behind the theater to this very day.
i used to get drunk at this theater.the double feature of American Werewolf in London and Altered States was awsome.saw that one 2 or 3 times.Saw Unforgiven with my father there, thats a good memory.what it lacled in spit and polish it made up for it with atmosphere.i loved that theater and my sister got married in the church behind the theater
Richard Hell and the Voidoids played at the Oasis. i remember seeing the sign for the show and being around 12 years old i thought the name was strange/memorable.i dont recall any other shows there. i was still heavily into Kiss at the time.I remember seeing Food for the Gods, Grizzly Addems< the Apple Dumpling Gang,Return of the Pink Panther,Black Sunday/bw the Gambler, Ben, Death Race 2000(or was the at the Arion on metropolitan ave?)Hindenburg.I also remember a coin store right next door when i went through my coin collecting phase i usede to love that store.Maspeth was a nice town but there was ALOT of drugs going on.Everyone got high at a very young age.its not like that today (i hope)
