Why would anyone favor a photo from the Chicago RKO Palace which is posted on the Old Country, Plainview, NY site. Doesn’t belong here.

Seems odd that it’s thriving when the Babylon in town couldn’t make it. The parking?

As I heard the story the theatre will be razed and a new, larger one built. Should be happening around now.

robboehm commented about AMC Roosevelt Field 8 on Mar 15, 2015 at 9:40 am

Is this a reno or a tear down and rebuild?

robboehm commented about AMC Roosevelt Field 8 on Mar 15, 2015 at 5:02 am

Theater was built in less time than the eight month reno.

Theater plan and image added.

robboehm commented about Edwards' Theatre on Mar 14, 2015 at 11:59 am

Old ad uploaded. Notice the apostrophe, as I set up the site. When the new Edwards opened the apostrophe was a thing of the past.

robboehm commented about Edwards Theatre on Mar 14, 2015 at 11:55 am

Uploaded opening ad. Notice the apostrophe is out with the old.

Re my earlier posting. Page 1 of the Long Island Advance (now Patchogue Advance) for July 1, 1965 shows the marquee being removed from the building under the headline “Old landmark gives way to progress”. I’ll see if I can copy and paste it.

robboehm commented about Plaza Cinema & Media Arts Center on Mar 12, 2015 at 4:37 pm

New seats are being installed as I key this in. Don’t know what it will do to the capacity since they look substantial.

robboehm commented about Northport Theatre on Mar 11, 2015 at 7:00 am

Bloop you’re on the wrong Northport. How about moving all this information to the later Northport, also on CT, which is now a performance space known as the John Engeman.

robboehm commented about Times Square Theatre on Mar 11, 2015 at 6:57 am

Maybe he could also pick up the Liberty. The auditorium is still a void but some sort of eatery uses the lobby.

robboehm commented about Angelika Pop-Up at Union Market on Mar 11, 2015 at 6:53 am

That’s an unusual concept.
