Plastic Pollution by Meggs and Phibs
Station Street, Napier
Meggs x Phibs: Every minute, a garbage truck full of plastic makes its way into the earth’s oceans and plastics are expected to outweigh fish by the year 2050. Every single piece of plastic ever made still exists on earth and now it is breaking down into tiny particles in our seas. “Our mural focuses on this spectrum of plastic pollution – from large-scale debris, which poisons, chokes, and kills mammals and deep sea fish, to the smaller particles that are being eaten by all sea creatures. Our personal mantra is to ‘live with less’ and reduce our consumption of non-biodegradable products. We are rapidly killing our planet, and ultimately ourselves.”

Baltimore Parkway Theater Tour (1915, Oliver Birkhead Wight, remodeled in 1926 by John Eberson, 1939. 1956, renovated 2016-2017) Photograph by James Russiello
Had a wonderful, brief, tour of The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway ("The Parkway"), a movie theater located at 5 West North Avenue in the Station North Arts & Entertainment District, Baltimore, Maryland.
This conservation effort is spot-on and should get better press.
The Italian Renaissance style theater was designed by Baltimore architect Oliver Birkhead Wight and built in 1915 for a cost of approx.. $120,000, with a lavish interior decorated in the Louis XIV style. It opened on October 23, 1915 as a movie theater, was remodeled by New York architect John Eberson in 1926 as a Loew’s movie palace, which reduced the seating to 150 and simplified the ornate detailing, replacing a organ, enlarging a lobby, and adding a new marquis. A new marquis and mezzanine renovations were carried out in 1939 by Loew’s, and then another remodeling occurred in 1956 by the Schwaber organization, which rebranded the Parkway as “5 West,” an art house theater. Capacity was reduced to 435, and the colors were substantially reduced to browns, beiges, and greens. 5 West closed in 1978, and sat vacant, slowly decaying. It was rebuilt in 2016 by the Maryland Film Festival to the designs by Baltimore-based Ziger/Snead with a “rescue ruin” aesthetic approach, similar to Brooklyn’s BAM.
"Parkway Theatre turns 100, passes $15M mark in renovation funds" Baltimore Fishbowl article by Edward Gunts (www.baltimorebrew.com/2015/10/24/parkway-theatre-turns-10...)
Perhaps the prettiest of the many abandoned movie houses in Baltimore, the Parkway is poised for a new lease on life
Parkway Theatre turns 100, passes $15M mark in renovation funds - Perhaps the prettiest of the many abandoned movie houses in Baltimore, the Parkway is poised for a new lease on life
On October 23, 1915, a star-studded crowd turned out to celebrate the opening of a newfangled contraption in Baltimore, a motion picture theater called The Parkway.
Last night, another star-studded crowd turned out to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Parkway’s opening at 5 W. North Avenue and announce the start of an $18.5 million renovation and expansion that is hoped to transform it into the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway Film Center by March of 2017.
Supporters of the project say they have raised more than $15 million in less than two years and that construction will begin next month.
“This is a celebration of a birth and a rebirth,” said Tad Glenn, chairman of the board of the Maryland Film Festival, which is working with the Johns Hopkins University and the Maryland Institute College of Art to recycle the theater and redevelop three adjoining parcels on North Charles Street.
The Maryland Film Festival will be the center’s owner and operator. Jed Dietz, director of the Maryland Film Festival, said the Parkway renovation will help strengthen the Station North Arts & Entertainment District and the neighborhoods around it, while helping the Film Festival grow.
“We have raised more than $15 million,” he said. “We still have $3.5 million to go . . . We’re going to help Baltimore take the next step” in its revitalization.
The largest chunk of funds ($5 million) comes from a grant to Johns Hopkins from the foundation established by the late Greek shipping magnate, Stavros Niarchos.
Plans by Ziger/Snead Architects call for the 29,000-square-foot film center to include a 422-seat main theater in the shell of the Parkway, which was designed by Oliver Wight and closed in the 1970s. The center also will contain two 100-seat theaters, a first-floor lounge, and office and seminar space for Johns Hopkins and MICA film students.
The building at the southwest corner of Charles Street and North Avenue will be torn down and replaced with a new structure providing “state of the art” spaces that can’t fit into the Parkway.
One goal, supporters say, is to add more screens locally to show films that don’t come to Baltimore today. Of the 950 films that The New York Times reviewed last year, only 350 were screened in Baltimore, they say.
Another goal is to have a place where students can learn about filmmaking. Supporters say they expect filmmakers to come from around the world for public screenings of films, lectures and other events.
Low Price for Property
More than 100 people crowded into Liam Flynn’s Ale House on North Avenue last night for the announcement about the capital campaign. That was followed by an outdoor festival at the Ynot Lot at Charles Street and North Avenue, featuring black and white films shown against the side of a building.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told the crowd that her administration sold the Parkway and three adjacent properties to the developers for $1, even though the appraised value was much higher.
“The appraisal came in at over $1 million — I think $1.2 [million],” she said. “I think you got a deal. I consider myself a bargain shopper. . . You are putting my bargain shopping to shame.”
Baltimore filmmaker John Waters, one of three honorary co-chairs of the Parkway Campaign, posed for selfies with fans such as the mayor and shared some of his memories of the area from back when he “got out of Lutherville, Maryland, and came down to be a beatnik.”
Waters said he thinks the Station North Arts District is a fitting spot for the film center because the area has a history of showing films people couldn’t see elsewhere in town.
Scariest Bar in Town
He said he remembers going to the Parkway when it was called the 5 West to see Never on Sunday, a film banned by the Catholic Church.
He said he also remembers places such as the Wigwam (“the scariest bar in Baltimore”), Nate’s & Leon’s and an unsuccessful effort to rename North Avenue “James Brown Boulevard.”
During his remarks, Waters revealed a trait he shares with the Parkway: “I’m 100 years old, too.”

Jean and Moses were thick as thieves last night, preferring the
company of each other to the chit-chat of boring adults mulling over
the political situation in Afghanistan. It brought tears to my eyes
to see them cracking up over his new favorite book series Diary of a
Wimpy Kid. They were having so much fun, in fact, that 7:45 came and
went with no one remembering that a certain 6 year old had to be put
to bed. When we finally noticed the time, they seemed too engrossed
to disturb them. Finally, at 9:15, we called a time-out and forced
the situation.
The Abrahamsons have reduced their meat intake to twice a week at
most. When we do eat meat, we make it the best we can buy (best being
a relative term that either means "organic" or means so freakin' good
we don't care what's in it). Tonight's impromptu gathering
necessitated a trip to the store for the good stuff. Jean's eating
habits have wavered over the months and we know her intake of
vegetables and good protein ebbs and flows with her memory of the last
time she ate. So we went for Waygu (American Kobe Beef) and grilled
up some serious burgers. We served them with sauteed mushroom and
pasilla chiles, and all the fixins worth piling on a burger. Some
crunchy snap peas dressed with sesame oil and soy sauce, and a little
cole slaw rounded out the meal. A good culinary time was had by all.
Jean wasn't quite sure what she was eating at first or how to eat the
burger, but Moses lead the instruction as only a 6 year old can: "You
don't even have to use a fork, Meema. You just pick up the whole
thing in your hands." He showed her how to spread the toasted bun
with chipotle mayonnaise and mustard, and she tucked right in. We
took a chance and gave her a 1/2 lb. burger, figuring the human vacuum
cleaner next to her would finish whatever she left. He didn't get the
chance.
With a little trepidation, we broached the subject of Mexico with her,
hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. "If you think I can
afford it, let's do it," she said. "You buy the tickets and I'll pay
you back." WOW. That was easy. Naturally, we're prepared for her to
be medically unable to make the trip, but at least this year it won't
cost us six grand to make the arrangements.
As grandson and grandmother were huddled together on the couch, we
whispered about her hygiene, which has become noticeable (not in the
good way). She's beginning to smell, either because her olfactory
glands are going (as they will) and she doesn't know to dry clean her
clothes, or she forgets to shower altogether, or -- as we've seen --
she forgets to use soap when she does shower. We plan to make a
discreet trip to the house, fill the shower with liquid soap (she
tends to forget to use the bar soap), and make a trip to the dry
cleaners. Hoping that will do it. Certainly, it wasn't worth
bringing up on such a wonderful evening!
Jean carried with her her new book, Franklin and Lucy. She's excited
for the book club and wants to get a jump on the reading. It's
doubtful she'll finish it, given her difficulty even reading the liner
notes on the back cover, but it gives her something to look forward
to, and that's always good. We are considering creating a Moses
Reading Club, with two members in it. She had so much fun with Moses,
and the books (on the NY Times Bestseller List) are that perfect happy
medium that makes them easy for her to understand, that we think a
weekly "meeting" might be just the thing for both of them.
Like I said, it was a perfect evening.

I was uneasy taking this shot. My cousin was parked just out of frame on the other side of the road, but there was also a group of guys in a shouting match about forty feet from me on the other side. This is the second time I've been standing trying to get a shot and hear an argument start.
The other time was in the River Market. Some guy broke down, and I'm guessing a friend or family came to help him. All was well when I walked by, but once I got a bit down the road they started arguing. I looked back in time to see the guy that needed help pull away. He stopped at a stop sign near me, and the dude that helped him rammed into the back of his van. I didn't stick around long enough to find out how all that went down.....
