Thanks, Lost Memory. It’s a link I can actually open.

westsidegirl, when I hung out on the Upper West Side in the 1980’s, I was going with a girl who liked the coffee from the A & P on Bway at 68th Street, near the Regency.

I never had the Kitchen Sink at Jahn’s, LuisV, so I can’t comment.

I am greatly saddened, though not at all surprised, that Jahn’s is now closed. As I had posted previously, the last few times I was there, 2002 through 2006, it was darker and quieter in there than several funeral homes I have been in.

Jack Tomai, this personal stuff is good, because it brings people together, and gets them talking to each other about their lives.

See you on Bushwick Buddies ! The more the merrier ! Come on in, the water’s fine !

Thanks for this information, Warren.

I wonder when the Alhambra showed its last film.

Who is she, Sylvia ?

Good for you, Sylvia. I’m not sure I can help you rescue the Loew’s Pitkin, though.

Thanks, Warren. I may contact you privately for that purpose.

Perhaps all too true, cypress.

Thanks, Ed Solero. An interesting, and probably significant, comparison to one of the five Loew’s “wonder” theatres of 1929 and 1930.

Thanks, Ken Roe. Good work. Good to read you. Hadn’t, for awhile. Glad you’re back on CT, and on the page of so illustrious a theater as the Pitkin.

Photo Bucket is blocked by my pc, Warren. In a few words, what do those 1935 program covers show about the Colonial Theatre ?

It depends on how much you care about the Trylon, but, it’s academic, now that you have your answer.

I don’t recall any of that, anniegirl, but perhaps Butch might. Thanks for posting more of your memories.

Small world. Yes, funny that your guys were called “The Brothers”.

The Prep swim team practiced frequently at McCarren Pool, and the track team gathered frequently at McCarren Park. My former boss used to go swimming at the St. George Hotel in Bklyn Heights. I think my mom went to a Prep Mother’s Guild card party at the St. George Hotel while I was at the Prep (1969-73).

Butch, I had a Franciscan brother, Brian Sosnowski, as my religion teacher at my first year (1969-1970) at St. Francis Prep. He was a handsome, blonde man of medium build. I can’t help but wonder if he was the same Brian Sosnowski that you knew.

Butch, you might enjoy Bushwick Buddies. Here’s the link. It centers around Bushwick, but there are threads and discussions of Greenpoint and Williamsburg as well :

Keep the good memories coming, Butch !

Yes, Lost Memory, quite possibly. In mid-April 1988 I remember John Laroquette, as Dan Fielding on the TV show “Night Court”, referring to a certain slimy character in a diving suit as both “The Wizard Of Ooze” and the “Duke Of Oil”.

Ed Solero, you got it ! It almost rhymes with the “earl” sold by Newell Fuel Company !

Thank you, Butch Olson, of “the Point” !

A friend of mine from Manhattan Avenue and Calyer Street used to refer to Greenpoint as “the Point” also !
