While driving into downtown New Haven last week, after reading in the New Haven Independent about the death of the New Haven Documentary Film Festival, thanks to the closing of our city’s last downtown movie theater, I heard this song come on an oldies radio station — “Downtown” by Petula Clark.
I saw movies at many of the theaters you mentioned and many more. I would love for there to be a new theater or theaters in downtown New Haven and I'd be happy to be on a committee to make that happen.
Hi Steve -- Boy, I sure wish such a committee existed. Maybe somebody has an idea how to get one started and try to make an impact. -- Randy

Loved the old Lincoln Theater. Saw "Endless Summer," surfing around the world. Circa 1967. It was a throwback local venue. Greatly missed.
You're lucky you were able to see films there at such an early time! I made it there for just the final five years. They went by fast! -- Randy
