That’s OK Fred. I wonder who the PROTECTORS of the Ridgewood Theatre are right now.

That’s a proJector, Fred, not a protector.

You’re welcome, Mike. I must confess I have no idea whatsoever as to what’s going on inside the Ridgewood Theatre.

I passed by the Ridgewood Theatre 11 a.m. this morning Friday November 5 2010, on my way to work, after buying pants at Carl’s Army and Navy Store next door, as I have been doing for at least the past forty years.

No change in the theatre since I last passed by. No phone number or message on the marquee. There are five or six mannequin heads with made-up faces and wigs on them in the box office. Between the outer open mesh gate and the doors into the inner lobby is a boom box on a table and four or five desk chairs on wheels.

Last time I passed by (last month), the gate was up, the boom box was playing, and there were four or five loud Hispanic-sounding guys sitting in those chairs and arguing loudly and profanely, about what, I cared not to listen to.

You’re welcome, Michael, but I probably won’t have much to report.

I passed by the Ridgewood Theatre at about 10:10 a.m. today Friday September 10 2010. I observed no change since I last passed by on the morning of Monday August 30 2010.

I would rather see the Loews Kings restored than neither the Loews Kings nor the Ridgewood Theatre restored.

On the one hand, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

On the other hand, if all of the $ 70 million budgeted is needed to restore the Loews Kings, better to have one fully restored theater than none at all.

That’s good company for the Ridgewood Theatre to be in !

When I run out of things to post about the Ridgewood Theatre, I’ll continue writing my memoirs on the Bushwick Buddies website.

larry2, which two theaters on CT have more comments than the Ridgewood ?

What will I do if / when the Ridgewood Theatre is demolished ? Continue to reminisce about it.

“This just once again proves the points that it is a lot easier to win landmarks designation for the facade than it to turn the old building into a viable economic entity”

Good point, John Dereszewski. Thanks for posting it.

“– and that construction costs have really gone through the roof.”

Through the roof – pun intended ?

I, too, would like to know how the Ridgewood Theatre went from operational in March 2008 to a “shambles” and “nothing left” in August 2010.
