Flatbush church at home in old Rialto Theatre seeks new tenant for historic building

July 18, 2021

A century-old Flatbush building, which once housed a movie palace, is looking for a new tenant to bring a renewed lease on life to the joint. The building, 1085 Flatbush Ave., now houses the Cortelyou Road Church of God, which owns the building and wants to rent out most of the 15,000-square-foot space and keep a sliver for itself. For more than half a century, the building was home to the Rialto Theatre, from 1916 to 1976. Since then, it has been the location of various houses of worship. The building …

Brooklyn College community calls for CUNY to reinstate laid off professors

July 5, 2020

Students, faculty, and staff at Brooklyn College rallied outside the school’s Midwood campus on July 2 calling school administrators to reinstate 52 recently laid off adjunct professors who are set to lose their healthcare coverage during the pandemic — which, one professor said, was an example of anti-Black policies at the college. “Austerity is anti-Black,” said Jean Eddy Saint Paul, one of nine full-time Black professors at the college. “I kindly ask the administration of Brooklyn College to reverse their harmful policy against adjuncts.” Several dozen protesters attended the gathering …

A Theatre Fit for Kings

February 10, 2019

The historic Kings Theatre in Flatbush opened its doors on February 3 to a new generation of audiences.

Built in 1929 as one of five Loews “Wonder Theatres,” the landmark has been painstakingly restored by the Kings Theatre Redevelopment Company—a consortium of ACE Theatrical Group, the Goldman Sachs Urban Group, and the National Development …
