If the store on Flatbush closes, I hope that whatever takes its place preserves the movie theater facade.

    i actually hope that if it closes, it goes back to being a movie theater. how cool would that be?

    it's the one thing park slope could actually use.

    i don't count the pavilion since it seems to perpetually have problems with lack of air conditioning, bed bugs, etc.

    That would be amazing, but now that it's been converted to retail space, it would take a major investment in infrastructure to make it a theater again.

    Can't say I'm broken up about the demise of American Apparel. American-made clothes with decent wages for factory employees: YES. Advertisements that promote impossibly adolescent standards of female beauty using unpaid, often underage worker/models: NO.

    The movie marquee is awesome, and it'd be cool to see something befitting it take the space. Hitchcock-theme cafe with films running while you sip your espresso?

    Yeah, I don't know who's even been shopping there until now. As far as I'm concerned, almost anything other than a vacant lot will be better, but any type of movie place would be awesome.

    I still haven't gotten around to seeing Man on Fire or Van Helsing yet.
