originally from give us each day our daily pan
from the KV memory archives, the scene of a mugging, by Son Of Seth

Yes, I was thrown out of the Canal theater a number of Saturdays for rolling in the aisles laughing. I think one of the movies that prompted my gaiety was "Psycho" - the shower scene. What can I tell you? I guess I wasn't tuned into the mood at the time. Also I saw many rock and roll movies at the Canal, Elvis films and the Murray the K fests. Saturday I often would go there with Joey Maldonado and his cousins. We would load up on candy by the quarter pound from that obscure bakery that was just around the corner on Madison Street, quarter block from Catherine - around the corner from the Brokowsky's fruit store, Gogol's and the pharmacy on the corner, next to the newstand. Remember? By the bus stop. See what I'm saying? (In your mind, can you see it?) The bakery had golden and tan tile design but couldn't hold a candle to Savoia. No marble floors either.
I saw many a Frankenstein/Dracula/Godzilla movie at the Tribune near City Hall.  Also the Uncle Remus movie and a bunch of others.  Murray and I were involved in an incident, after exiting that theater - we were mugged - walking under the Brooklyn Bridge.  Pace College has expanded into the space.  It stood just as Park Row turned a corner towards the river and you could see the water.  As soon as you had a view of the river, you had a view of the theater.  See what I'm saying?.

Eldridge Street Synagogue Panoramic Scene

A 3 node panoramic scene made from 3 panoramic movies taken on June 15, 2008 during Eldridge Street Synagogue's annual egg cream and egg roll festival. The first movie (in the synagogue) links to the second and third that are outside on Eldridge Street. Panorama 2 is adjacent to the synagogue, while panorama 3 is up the block north at the intersection of Eldridge and Canal. The site being developed once housed Beny' s Watches, a long time LES establishment

Oliver Street Panoramic Movie

A panoramic movie made on Oliver Street, between Henry and Madison Streets. Visible is the western side of PS 1 as well as the house that Al Smith lived in (there's a white car parked in front and you may be able to see a plaque on the wall). This was also the block that formerly housed Jimmy's Candy Store that sold comics in the 1950's and 60's (look for a green awning)

Kossar's Bialys' Panoramic Scene

A panoramic scene connecting a panoramic movie made in Kossar's on Grand near Essex to (SE) East Broadway near Clinton. You have to imagine a hole in a wall of Kossar's as well as in a Seward Park Houses' building as the corresponding hot spots.

Panoramic Scene Windsor Terrace

Around the corner from the webmaster's home:
A panoramic scene made from 2 adjacent panoramic movies taken in Windsor Terrace in June 2008. The first movie was taken at the intersection of Windsor Street and Fuller Place. It connects westward to Prospect Park West and Windsor Street

Brooklyn Bridge Panoramic Scene

A 4 node panoramic scene (a first for me!) made from 4 adjacent panoramic movies taken on and below the Brooklyn Bridge on June 12th, 2008. The first visible movie was taken in the little park below and just east of the bridge. There were many pictures required for the "stitching" because of the oblong shape of the area. As you look for the hot spots they are arranged in a south to north direction from left to right. The first (most left) is closest to the Brooklyn side. In the panoramic movie closest to the Manhattan side Knickerbocker Village is clearly visible

City Hall Panoramic Scene

A panoramic scene made from three panoramic movies taken in the vicinity of City Hall Park in June of 2008

St. Joseh's Church/PS 1 Panoramic Scene

A scene linking the intersection of Catherine and Monroe Street to Madison and Catherine Street (slightly NW ) on the Lower East Side. A better version than a panoramic movie posted back in November 2007


St. Joseph's Church is on Monroe St and PS1 is on Madison, 1 block NW (approx).Background: St. Joseph’s Church at 5 Monroe Street was built in 1925 to serve the Italian population. Its parishioners are now 70% Chinese. In mid-August, it hosts the annual St. Rocco’s feast, once held at St. Joachim’s Church, where Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first U.S. citizen to be declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church, began her ministry in 1889. She established a network of hospitals and social services extending from New York to Chicago, Golden, Colorado, and Seattle. Despite protests by former parishioners including Jimmy Durante, the church was demolished in 1959 to build apartments. P.S.1 at Oliver and Henry streets, a school dating from 1806 attended by Eddie Cantor, Jimmy Durante, and Luther Vandross, among others.

Panoramic Movie From Brooklyn Pier

A panoramic movie made from the pier adjacent to the south side of the Brooklyn Bridge (on the Brooklyn side). Not my best effort as there was much movement going on. A large party from the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office was taking place at the Bargemusic and folks were exploring the telectroscope. Knickerbocker Village can be seen across the river to the right of the Bridge

Coleman Oval Panoramic Movie

Delancey-Essex-Grand-Norfolk-Broome Panoramic Scene

Crossing Delancey was shown outdoors on 5/17/08 in the parking lot on Broome and Norfolk. It was an event sponsored by the LES Business Improvement District.
This panoramic scene connects three panoramic movies: a panoramic movie taken at the intersection of Grand and Essex, a panoramic movie taken of Essex looking North to Delancey, and a panoramic movie of the film site in a parking lot at Broome and Norfolk. Look for the hot spots that link one movie to another.
