Councilor-at-Large George Rotondo would like Amazon to assist in funding affordable housing and a shelter in Revere.
It has been announced that Amazon will open a distribution center at the former site of Showcase Cinemas on Squire Road, Revere.
“We have a very pervasive problem within our community and that is the homeless,” Rotondo said at Monday night’s Council meeting. “We have a significant problem and many of them are addicted to drugs and alcohol.”
Rotondo added that “Amazon is a multi-billion-dollar corporation that is going to put a facility at Showcase Cinemas. They have made public comment about helping with affordable housing and so forth.

Councilor Serino wrote the following comments: “With the closing of Showcase Cinemas, it’s a sad end for a long chapter of Hollywood in Linden Square. From a drive-in to a movie theater where my parents took me to see my very first movie to seeing ‘The Adventures of Pinocchio’ and ‘George of the Jungle,’ with my mom to now the ‘new’ Showcase that was built in 2000 where I saw all the Harry Potter movies and where I would take my younger cousins to see the LEGO movies, I will certainly miss Showcase Cinemas.
