Nearby Theaters
The Treat Theatre was opened around 1924 at 68 Orange Street at the corner with Broad Street. The Treat Theatre was still operating as a regular movie theatre in 1957. By the 1980’s it went over to screening adult movies and was renamed Cameo Theatre. It was later twinned. In the early-2000’s, Cinema 1 screened regular adult movies and Cinema 2 screened all male adult movies. The Cameo Twin Cinema XXX was equipped with new projection and sound systems that were installed in the 2000’s.
The Cameo Twin Cinema XXX was closed at the end of August 2010, following a tragic murder in the building, and the refusal of the City of Newark to renew its licence to operate. It had been demolished by June 2022 and the site was in use as a parking lot.

I must be honest here. I truly miss the Cameo Theatre and my trips to Newark. I had so much fun at the theatre. I was young, full of life, full of energy. At 58, I deeply yearn for those days again.

I’ve read nycman’s comment 3 times (also the others for other theaters he posted the last couple of days) and what am I missing here? There is nothing sexual about the comments.
guess you’re not reading between the lines then.
Look at the other comments he left, many have been removed because of the over the top nature. I don’t think that’s really necessary here.
I am not reading anything offensive (here or anywhere else). Aren’t there moderators on the site here to take care of that sort of thing?
Some of the best years of my youth were spent at this theatre. Is there another adult theatre close to NYC? There’s got to be another place like this theatre once was. Does anyone know?
