Raise The Loew’s

In Flatbush, Brooklyn at 1025-35 Flatbush Avenue, a 79-year-old desperately needs your help. The formerly grand, 3,195 seat Loew’s Kings Theater is in dire need of a multi-million dollar renovation. Closed since 1978, it’s in a serious state of disrepair. For many, many years, things looked grim for the building’s recovery. However, there are exciting plans being discussed to revive both it and the surrounding area. All ideas and proposals should be carefully reviewed now. Once approved, they should be acted on immediately. This neighborhood needs to be rehabbed for the people living there now. The ex-vaudeville house deserves to be restored to it’s former glory for Brooklynites and visitors to enjoy as an historical keepsake. Borough President Marty Markowitz is staunchly behind the effort to get this done. We all should be. Viewing a movie or live performance in a refurbished theater from a bygone era is an experience nobody should miss.
