There was a time when you could catch a flick right in the heart of Park Slope. Now, you can pick up some groceries at [C-Town](http://www.yelp.com/biz/c-town-supermarkets-brooklyn-2?ref=bklyner.com) at that same address.

Taken in 1966, the photo caption reads: “View of former theater (now a grocery store) at 327 Ninth Street in Park Slope; large marquee (“RKO PROSPECT”) announcing current show (“5 ACADEMY AWARDS — BEST ACTRESS! ELIZABETH TAYLOR — RICHARD TAYLOR SANDY DENNIS IN VIRGINIA WOOLF”); automobiles parked along curb; print shop and other stores at right and left.”

The image is part of the [Brooklyn Collection at the Brooklyn Public Library](http://www.bklynlibrary.org/brooklyncollection?ref=bklyner.com), and you can find more historic images like this one there or through[ Brooklyn Visual Heritage](http://www.brooklynvisualheritage.org/?ref=bklyner.com).
