............................... Arcade Theatre Baltimore 1980's

...................................................

Several years back, around 2002 , the beautiful marquee of the old Arcade came down, due to safety concerns. The supports of the marquee had gotten weak, and the price to repair the heavy marquee was just too much, so it was taken down. Sadly, nothing on the marquee was saved ! I remember the first time seeing the marquee and imagining how it must have looked at night, all lit up. The theater section of the building is actually in the back of the structure, where you who pass a long hall by several small shops to get there.

The Arcade opened in the late 1920's, and closed in the late 1970's, seating between just under 900 to 1,000 perople. The building is currently used as a church after being used for years as a warehouse of sorts.

This was actually only the entranceway, the actual theater was in the rear of the block , as seen below .

Individual bulbs not only spelled out ARCADE on the marquee, but it was outlined in neon. The front neon of the Arcade Theater changed over the years, but was always eye catching until the old marquee finally came down in 2002.
