The Fabian's back!! Those of us who are lifelong residents of the city of Paterson, NJ can recall the good old days. I can remember gathering up $1.50 on Saturdays and going to the old Fabian theater on church st. just to see a kung fu movie. I also remember Easter Sunday's after church going to the movies too see the latest horror film, I was merely a child back then , but now I'm an adult with a treasure trove for a memory.
It's truly sad that the average high school student in the city of Paterson, nj has never even been inside one of the city's movie theaters. This is heightened by the fact that they've all been closed since they all were born. The last movie ran in our fair city was more than 23 years ago.
Well fellow Patersonians don't be dismayed because there is a new light on the horizon.
Thanks to privately owned business we have a new theater in Paterson, it is affectionately refered too as Fabian 8 cinema. There is a sense of nostalgia with the name, but don't get it twisted as the kids of today would say, that's just the name and there is no affiliation with the original Fabian. This is a new and improved venue. There are 8 beautiful screening rooms, and the staff is comprised of patersonians who love their work and most importantly love their city.
This is a coup for the city and we as residents should shout it from the rooftops "The Fabian's Back". Let's once again have pride in our fair city.
