"Opened in 1932, the Fox Theatre in Hackensack, NJ was a fairly large Art Deco style movie house. The last first-run movie there was “Jaws 2” in 1980. After that, it was closed with an "under renovation" sign outside. It never re-opened and was demolished in 1998"

The comments on that link had some links to other images. The first one (http://www.boxoffice.com/the_vault/issue_page?issue_id=1970-7-27&page_no=83#page_start - click to enlarge and read the story) is from 1970 and the second one is from 1981.

Next to the Fox in the 1970 picture where it says "MAS ios" is Thomas Studios, which at one time was located around the corner on Camden St. Getting our pictures done at Thomas was a family ritual when I was growing up.
