If you guessed that yesterday’s picture was the exterior of the Charles Theater, you were correct. Once a streetcar engine shop, it was converted to a theater in the ’30’s. The original complex also included a bowling alley and dance hall which are long gone. With the struggles of the Senator, the Charles is now solidly Baltimore’s premiere independent movie house and is one of the few places left to experience movies as they were shown almost a century ago.
A housekeeping note from MDP: You may have noticed the non-stop flow of spam to the site. How couldn’t you. To keep spam at a minimum, we’re limiting comment posts so that only those people who have previously commented on the site will be able to see their comments right away. Unfortunately, that means that if you haven’t written a comment before, it will go into a queue to be moderated. I will do my best to look through the queue and sort out the meaningful comments from the spam. This will hopefully be only a temporary measure. As always, I hope you know how much your visits to the site are appreciated and how much your comments have been appreciated as well.
