How many still remember the iconic J.M. Ricci's Capitol Theatre? Located at 61 Grove Street, Meriden, Connecticut, this historic landmark originally opened its doors on Christmas Day, December 25, 1913, as a live vaudeville venue founded by Joseph M. Ricci. Over the decades, it evolved into a beloved single-screen cinema, bringing the magic of silent films and later "talkies" to generations of local moviegoers. After anchoring the downtown community's entertainment for nearly three quarters of a century, it permanently closed in the late 1980s and was subsequently demolished to make way for a local parking garage.
