Yes, I remember the Abbey and went to many movies there before it became the (first) Nickelodeon. Perhaps that should be added as another listing.

The first Nickelodeon location was actually a reopening of an earlier cinema, Loew’s Abbey.

The Nickelodeon had several screens. It was a premiere art house for the Boston area especially in the 1980s and 1990s and replaced an earlier incarnation down the corner of Cummington Street and another street that leads to Huntington Avenue. The place was one Green-Line stop or a short walk from Kenmore Square. After the Kendall Square Cinemas in Cambridge was built, there was some day/dating in the programming. I used to go to the Nickelodeon often. The programming was great. The projection was usually first rate, and they served terrific ice cream by the scoop. The last time I went there was when I brought some Italian club students to see Giuseppe Tornatore’s “Malena” on February 10, 2001. One week later the Nickelodeon was closed!
