A few weeks ago, MDP featured the Senator theater in a few posts. The theater has been shut down, but has temporarily opened again for showings of its classic engagements this upcoming weekend. If you are looking for somthing to do, check it out. It also looks like the City of Baltimore will be taking over ownership of the theatre, preventing a public auction.
Seeing that news reminded me of one of the repurposed movie house success stories: the AFI silver. The Silver theatre sat vacant and in disrepair of years in the middle of Silver Spring, before it was rehabilitated. Today the interior has been remarkably restored and made to be the center of a multi purpose space done right, with two adjoining smaller theatres and a retained sense of the building’s past.

Raise your hand if you think Baltimore City will not muck this up. Badly.
