The Bow Ties Cinema location in Tenafly, a century-old movie theater, is for sale, hitting the market for $1.4 million.            

The theater has been closed since March because of the pandemic.

The closure has also been hard for the surrounding businesses because of the loss of foot traffic. The community is feeling the impact.

"I have four children and I took all four of my children to the theater here when they were young,” says Mayor Mark Zinna. “I mean from when ‘The Lion King’ was showing the first time in the late 90s, so it means a lot and has a lot of pleasant and happy memories. It's a place of gathering and entertainment."

The mayor says if it doesn't stay a movie theater, he wouldn't mind seeing the property turned into a microbrewery.
