The Parkway Theatre is a marvel of historical restoration. Many have no clue it exists or even what it is, but if you haven't had the pleasure to visit the building, you definitely should.
The Parkway is a movie theater hosting 3 theaters that play independent and Hollywood films and they are open every single day of the week!

It now houses a space for the Maryland Film Festival Circuit, filmmaking classes, workshops, films, and more.
Their main theater is a sight to behold. With much of the building any of the salvageable historical architecture that could be kept has been brilliantly melded with the modern redesign.

Most of the time very few people in attendance. I like that but for a movie theatre this is not something viable. Anyhow worth going and not sure why not many more...
Read moreGo to see a movie listed to show at 10pm. Show up at the start time only to have the doors locked and they open the door to tell us no one else has come to the theater for the show time. And give the ultimatum “make the whole staff wait for your movie to end” or “go home.” I come to the theater often. But if you have an advertised show time and close because you want to go home early that’s some bad business. Besides it’s not like you weren’t scheduled to be open or get paid for your time working. Don’t make your customers feel unwelcome to give you business. I have never heard of any movie theater doing anything like...
