One more thing on this corner, St. Mark's and Second Avenue... the St. Marks Cinema, which we have mentioned here. According to Cinema Treasures, a theater was in operation at this location from 1914 to the spring of 1985. (Jeremiah had a Jim Jarmusch-related post on the Cinema in July 2008 that you should read.)
And "Mask" and "Sixteen Candles" on the same bill in the photo circa 1984?

Great days. Great Midnight shows, at which I had my own personal first viewings:
"Alien"
"Blade Runner"
"Dawn of the Dead"
So much fun.
Great photo and you couldn't ask for a more iconic '80's double feature than that!
Mask and Sixteen Candles are odd together? What about Salo? Can you imagine some Molly Ringwald/John Hughes bratpack loving fans watching Salo by mistake?
The only place to see 'Cry Uncle' 150 times.
