Flashback Friday: Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? 9th Street Was

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 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, and you can find more historic images like this one there or through Brooklyn Visual Heritage.
