Closing Bell: Ridgewood Theater Shuts Down

This is technically about Queens, not Brooklyn, but it’s a loss for moviegoers in bordering neighborhoods like Bushwick and Williamsburg: BushwickBK reports that the Ridgewood Theater, which opened in 1916, is no more. “Sadly, the only thing I can imagine leasing 17,000 sqft is another chain drug store,” notes the blog. “Hopefully, whatever happens, the facade remains intact.”
