From 1927 to 1953 the building at 715 Broadway was home to Queen's Grocery
Co. In 1953 they held a "Quitting Business" auction In 1954
it became the Bladl Food Market, I'm not sure how long that lasted, but
at least until 1958. In 2018 this property became the home of Bookhouse
Cinema and in 2024 it became Royale Cinema Lounge.
Looking at the Google satellite view this appears to actually be two
larger building separated by a smaller narrow building connecting them.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
