psomerf commented about 1891 Fredonia Opera House on May 11, 2006 at 4:00 pm

The last two movies I recall seeing at the Regent came out in 1987. The only movie I saw at the Opera House was in 1979, 10 years before the House began undergoing refurbishment.

Since the Strand on this page is the one in Ithaca, I thought I was being on topic by speaking only of the Starnd in Ithaca. I know nothing of the Strand of Seneca Falls. If I did, I would surely post about it in under that theatre. :)

That small room certainly was cozy. If I had to go to the <ahem> necessary room during the show, I feared I would block the projection onto the screen.

The Strand was razed in 1993 or so. I arrived in 1992, and they had a save the Strand push going on. The owner threatened to raze the structure, and the preservationists got a stay. I can only assume this happened many times in the past, and this time the owner ignored it, and knocked the bulding down, promising to rebuild something there. Last I checked, the only thing erected were parking meters. But that was 2004, so maybe they did something since then.

1170 Central Ave. is the address for the entire D&F Plaza. So, yes, there is a big parking lot there. Most of the store fronts are open, but Putt-a-Bit mini golf is in disrepair and for sale.

I am too young to remember the Capitol. I was 5 in ‘68. All I have are stale third hand memories from Bill Tallman’s (he used to work at the Hobby Shop in Fredonia) mother the one day I chatted with her in 1984. I haven’t seen Bill since the Hobby Shop closed 1995ish. Sorry.

The Cine was demolished in December, 2004.
