•  Yes, it was Roxys...Went there all the time.
• It was a 2nd home in the 80's! So much fun
• I rented an apartment there, top left window!
  • I too rented that apartment, then moved across the hall. Sometime around ‘78 or ‘79. Blast from the past!
• The bowling alley was there too, next door I think. I was never in it but heard about it. Never hung out at the roxy

• My Dad helped put out the fire in the Roxy
• I just came out of the Roxy watching a movie! So sad to have it burn down
•  I remember a place I think it was called Howies in that place before it was The Roxy in the 80s
•  Hi  the first place to open after the Roxy Theatre was Jakes Disco, unfortunately it opened the night Disco died ! Howie Oram and I opened up again under the name Howies in 1981, long story short, Howie bought me out after 6 months and then went bankrupt in a few months. The owner of the building (Al Pilutti) and I reopened under the Name "The Roxy" in 1982, was a great "Rock & Roll" bar until 1986 when Al closed it down and converted the downstairs into offices.
• Ya , I forgot about Jakes, likely cause I was never there LOL, but do remember going to Howie’s a few times.
• Me too . Had been to the Roxy just before the firecrackers(I think) burned it down
•  yes it was a fine dining restaurant up stairs and a bar down...I worked both in 1981
• I loved working at the Roxy then. Had a blast. 😁
•  Me too !!
• I remember a place I think it was called Howies in that place before it was The Roxy in the 80s
•  I remember that building burn down, I believe it was a large firecracker that cause the fire at the Roxy. I used to be a pin-boy at the bowling ally in the basement beside the Roxy.​
•  It was a big loss when it burned down. Spent many a Saturday afternoon at the movie
  
•  Does anyone have pics of the Roxy?? I have only seen it burned out
  
• Used to go to the Roxy often around 83'-84', when it was a bar and dance place. Mike Reid was the DJ back then.....I didn't know about the fire......too bad
  •  The fire was in the foxy movie theatre. Before my time. Probably yours too.
    
  • II do believe the ROXY in the late 50s it was before we were married[1960] I would say maybe 57--58 
    
  • The fire was in the late 50,s early 60,s that I can remember
    
  • The fire was 1958, I remember raiding the candy bar after all the firemen left 🤣
•  We moved in 1960 in Jan. and it was burnt out then maybe 1958 when it burned
  • So sixty years then...
    
  • Do you know how old the theatre was when it burned?? And what was playing at the time? Lol..
    
  •   WE HEARD THAT IT WAS . B,A,N,G the story said the fire started because of a FIRE CRACKER ////WOWS
    
  •  the Building was built in 1919 by MacKenzie and Son for the Gregory Family. the original name was the "Gregory Theatre". That was what we called the dining room above the Roxy in the 80's
