Can’t wait to see the big yellow CAT machines start tearing this place apart. This is progress—why do you people want to stop it for some sentimental reasons.
I watched the men tear down this beautiful old theater. It was Evans Brothers Wrecking Company, and they did it with a crane with a clamshell bucket. I also watched as the excavator operator wrapped a cable around the seats in the balcony and pulled the cable and the seats came tumbling down. It was cool to watch. (His name is Mark and he is very cute and delicious to watch him work in the cab of his CAT excavator.)
I also saw the spinning wheel in the pile of debris at the site.
I also remember seeing a beautiful art deco light fixture that hung in the center of the theather. I asked the crane operator Bill if he could save that, and he just looked at me, smiled and said, nah, too tough to get down. One day I went by and that light fixture was gone, probably smashed into the pile of rubble. That was so sad.
What’s the story with this theater. Is it still standing. When do you think they are going to start the demolition on it? It’s in pretty bad shape I hear, and the land is worth so much more.
Why so much complaining about this cummy old theater coming down? when are they going to start the demo? Will it be right after the grand closing party? I really want to see the big yellow CAT machines start tearing into this place. LOL.
When is the demo set to begin??

Let the wrecking ball swing!!
When did they tear this beauty down? So sad.
When I went to junior high school in South Orange, the science department had a skeleton that was found under the stage of the Cameo theater.
They never solved the murder, but it sure was cool to touch a real skeleton in 7th grade science class.
