A great shot from the archives of the Glendale Theatre located at 1661 Avenue road at Brookdale Ave. The Glendale opened in 1950 and closed in 1974. Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey enjoyed a lengthy two year plus run here in the early 1970's. In fact I saw the film here with several of my friends for my 10th birthday. We were a little confused to say the least....
The same corner in 2010.

I saw 2001 here at the Glendale a couple of times... Great Memories
ReplyDeleteI lived down the street from the Glendale. I remember buying tickets for $0.15 as kid. Saw just about every sci-fi and horror movie there was at the time. Those were the days!
