Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Hello and Happy Mothers day to all you wonderful Mothers.

Bobby C . I do not know if that was the same mean matron who would check your ticket stubs and if it was the wrong color (meaning you already saw the whole show) she would throw you out! Since I am so much older then most of you, it was probably a different time and a different Matron. The show consisted of Two feature films, a couple of serials (like superman or batman), several cartoons and the coming attractions. They would change the ticket colors at the box office, timing it with a complete showing of all of the above. The Avon was a little more lenient. The Prospect cost a little more then the Globe and Avon so we seldom went there on Saturdays. The Prospect was a lot nicer though and they had an organ. The Organ would pop up and you would follow the bouncing ball on the words on the screen as you sang along! Before my time the Prospect had Vaudeville and some people who became big stars later in their careers played the Prospect. Believe it or not there was a sign painted near the top of the side of the Prospect which said "Talking Movies-Air Conditioned."

Gavin now 5 months old
My little prince

Thank you again Whynot.
It was so easy

Hope everyone enjoyed their day.
Brunch with the kids was great
Went to Cebu restaurant here in bay ridge& dinner was good too!!
We had ravioli in sauce, meatballs, salad & fresh Italian bread from the Italian deli a block away. My hubby helped cook & he & the kids did the cleaning up.
Relaxing now & watching tv.

Let me say Godzilla was really good.

Completely different ( & much better)
Than the original.
It was so good that Godzilla got everyone in the theatre clapping & cheering him on
At the end!!


Dinner was delicious.

Italian music all night.
Hubby & I had cold antipasto &
Spaghetti shrimp marinara.
DELICIOUS.......

Hi guys
Happy Sunday!
My grandson Gavin had his first taste of food today. He was introduced to sweet potato. My daughter Natalie made it with a sweet potato In the purée machine.
He didn't like it that much.
We all watched his reaction. Not too happy.
Lol
I will try to post picture of him eating it.
He will probably like fruit better.
He took a spoonful & shook his head & shoulders. Too cute!!!
Cooking now.
Have a great night!!
