Although you are home to many of my favorite stores and restaurants you have nothing but my utter scorn Flatbush. Too many times you have tried (but failed) to annihilate my entire family. Good riddance!
Photograph by James Russiello - One of Loew's original five "wonder theaters" in New York City, "designed by the renowned firm of Rapp & Rapp, Kings Theatre opened in 1929 as Loew’s flagship theater. Its French Renaissance style architecture was inspired by the Palace of Versailles and the Paris Opera House. It features high, curved ceilings, ornate plaster walls, wood paneling, pink marble, and a glazed terra-cotta ornamental façade, making it a classic, early 20th century movie palace. The theater has been vacant since 1978." Restored by ACE Theatrical Group, LLC of Houston, Texas, a "firm specializing in historic restoration and theater operation, ACE will lease the theater from the City. ACE's many projects include the Boston Opera House, the Chicago Theatre and the Warner Theatre in Washington DC. ACE will host about 200 to 250 productions a year."

Bought some portra 160 and walked out into flatbush the other week. The last guy saw me taking a picture, walked in frame, and posed.
