Haunted Houses – 57 Jabotinsky Street – Chapter 2 – Destruction

By Royalrat

After 74 years the Rama Theater, sitting on 57 Jabotinsky Street, is being torn down. In the next months a 22-story high-rise will erupt from under the rubble and only a sad looking wall of shame will remind us of the place it once was. The rain is falling, the walls are crying and the memories are slowly washed down and are seeping into the filthy ground, where the Rama Theater is buried, deep inside the decaying history of a city that wants to forget. May our regrets rest in peace…

  Yaniv,

  You have succeeded admirably in capturing the sad, melancholy aura of this place that was once so full of life.

  Mickey

    Thanks Mickey! People walk by this place everyday but it became transparent. I ask myself if it would be missed. Since it was closed in the early 80th, I guess not many people remember when it was fully operative.

  I like your filming style, it’s like moving photographs. What a great opportunity to get in there before it is torn down! Nice images as well!

    Thanks Jeff! I’m glad to deliver the tour. No gift shop at the exit, though…
