Warner Theater Update
The Mayor of Ridgewood, Paul Vagianos, has an update on The Warner Theater in Ridgewood. (See below.)
We support the owners, Bowtie Cinema, and their quest to draw crowds to the Central Business District (CBD). However, let’s hope this is a sweetheart deal which allows local artists and performers to use the venue for practice & exhibitions.
It’s great that the village can proactively promote the re-use of a fondly remembered entertainment emporium . An added bonus would be a flexible design which makes it possible for local groups to safely rent & utilize the facility.

April 17, 2024 - Roosevelt Island
The Lunar Lander RI
I got to Roosevelt Island only to find out that the park on the south end doesn't open till 9am and so I waited for the next tram to take me back to Manhattan and as it approached...it kind of shifted as it rose over the last high tower maintaining the bottom to be parallel to the ground as it slowly decended to the distant land known as Roosevelt Island.
Shot looking south with the east tower of the 59th street bridge and the east bound tram in distance.
Time 730am.

Tales From The Wood…
I had to grab some change so I had cause to go inside... I'd forgotten how big Drapkins was.. Also, I was a kid.. It really was a stationary store, but all my business was up front with the candy and Corgi Cars... Yes. I switched from Hotwheels.

"I think our lost friends represent lives fulfilled. Even though some of these wonderful people left without a proper farewell, that they live on in our hearts and minds shows that they made a difference in many peoples lives. Our comments now are a delayed tribute."---Jack Zerbe

Warner Theater Update
Bow Tie Partners, owners of the former Warner Theatre in Ridgewood, removed the partitions within the space and preserved the original architectural and decorative details of the building, with the objective of transforming it into a live performing arts venue. Stay tuned!
Ridgewood Mayor Paul Vagianos gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the beloved movie theater as well as an update on its restoration.
