After growing up with Universal Studios, I was jaded to backlots until I visited Paramount Pictures. This lot is small, but stunning in its detail. The buildings are unique and look real from many angles. The architecture is not specific and quite varied, but those details just slayed me. Even the cracks in the sidewalk were planned by an art director. I stayed far too long, but adored the Paramount Pictures backlot.

View across Times Square to the Paramount Building at 1501 Broadway.
----------
Times Square is a major commercial intersection in Midtown Manhattan at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets.
Iconified as the "Crossroads of the World", it is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theatre district, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major centre of the world's entertainment industry.
Built in 1931, Charlottesville's Paramount Theater has held a starring role both now and in the past. Once a home for movies and community events, The Paramount's doors were closed for thirty years before recent restoration returned the theater's former glory.
The Paramount theater was a Monroe favorate until the 70's. Easy Rider was the last show to play here. All the buildings from the theater forward have been lost. It's now a parking lot. This is a view of Desaird Street looking towards the river.

Paramount Theater was built as a movie palace in 1931. Rare and costly materials,(hand quartered oak, Hungarian ash crotch, bird's eye maple, Balinese rosewood, Malaysian teak, Italian marble) were used by the architect Timothy L. Pfleuger, also the designer of the Castro Theater. In June 1932 the Paramount closed, unable to meet operating costs and stayed closed for nearly a year. It reopened in May 1933. It was in the 1950's that I have the most personal, fondest memories of the Paramount Theater. Little were we aware of the history and costly materials that surrounded us
when we spent our Saturday afternoons meeting and greeting friends at the paramount, licking our favorite lollipops purchased at the lobby candy counter, watching cartoons and westerns and competing for who could yell the loudest at images on the screen .No matter how grand the Paramount has become it will always live in my memory as our special Saturday afternoon treat.Unfortunately, theParamount closed for the second time on 9/15/70, no longer able to compete with the smaller theaters in the suburbs. In October 1972 the Oakland Symphony Association purchased the Paramount for 1 million.And thus began the restoration that has led to its present glory.I was married by then, living in Castro Valley and I remember our next door neighbor was the craftsman who laid the replica of the original carpet throughout the theater.Today, a group of seven private citizens manage and operate the Paramount on behalf of the city as a non-profit organization.No matter how many symphonies and ballets are performed at the Paramount, it will live on in my memory as the Oakland kids' place to go on Saturday afternoons.
