The mini-mansions in the center to the right of the map at one point
belonged to the Poli family, which owned theaters all over the United
States. They sold out to Loew's.

Way back when theaters were lavish, Poli Theaters were right at the top.
I think there are several that are still about.

I'm not sure I was ever in one. The "fancy" movie theater in New Haven
when I was a kid was the independent "Whalley Theatre," on, what else,
Whalley Avenue. Whalley Avenue was named after one of the judges who
signed the death warrant for Charles I of England.

For a tiny city, we had a lot of interesting people living in the area.
One of the Gimbel brothers of department store fame lived around the
corner from us. They had a mansion...but we sure didn't! The family had
two really smart, pretty twin daughters who attended public school with
the rest of us "middle-class" folks.
