Hi,
You were close. The theatre at 43rd and Walnut St. was the Commodore. We
used to attend it regularly.

btw, that mosque on walnut used to be an old movie theater (conveniently built
on a slope), the cunningham(?) theater. and before it was a mosque it was some
kind of christian place of worship. since it's been a mosque they've dug out
the slope inside, along with removing all signs of the former tenants,
including my favorite, a little window jawn that said JESUS SAVES in that south
philly rowhouse lettering. but you can still make out the 'CT' in the original
stonework near the top of the building...
why is it theaters become churches and churches become theaters?
(also, anyone know why that church on 40th street is for sale? the one near the
mcdonalds? st. josephs?)

which came first, the decision to move

rite aid's decision to vacate the spot? and
what else will be leaving the market street
corridor? what will be staying? what's going
on next door to the liquor store now?
