NOT my grandmother theater

But it may as well have been. I couldn't find a picture of the Bellmore Theater that my grandmother owned as long as I can remember in my youth. It looked almost exactly like this building from upstate NY. Gladys (grand mother ) lived in a huge apartment above the movie theater . This building seems a bit smaller then hers was . My father also as long as I remember was the projectionist so as a boy and teen I spent a lot of time in the projectionist booth which was a pretty interesting place for a boy . Huge projectors , film spicers , transformers , rectifiers , crazy shit really but it all seemed normal to me . As a teen I worked as an usher until my early 20s. Gladys sold the business in the early 70s , went to a home and died a few years later . The theater is still there and as far as I know its one of the few single large screen movie theaters still left on Long Island . I haven't been there in years and years . I should go see a movie there some night but that might be way too weird . Allan
