Today, the Paramount is the home of the Oakland East Bay Symphony and the Oakland Ballet, it regularly plays host to R&B, jazz, blues, pop, rock, gospel, classical music, as well as ballets, plays, stand-up comedy, lecture series, special events, and re-runs of classical movies from Hollywood's Golden Era.

"There was a fight between the Marauder and the Earth...and the Earth lost."
If anyone knows about the Marauder it's probably because of that old Top Gear episode .
We were in Croatia at a car rental agency a few years back, and upon hearing we were South African, the agent's very next question was "Have you seen the Marauder in real life?".
Of course, nobody else knew what he was talking about. Because we don't ever see them on the road, this isn't really targeted at civilians. It's a military MRAP that (according to a theory I heard) was painted red in order to get it into motoring shows for the publicity.
But hey, it's road-legal, and you can buy it. I mean, there's probably better things to do with that kind of money, but still.
The build for this one didn't take me very long, once I finally had the bonnet figured out. The wheels are a bit too fat, but otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out.

LBN (Lynds Catalog of Bright Nebulae) 782, a bright reflection nebula located in a very dusty region of the constellation Taurus glows blue in the center right of this image taken at Grand Mesa Observatory over multiple nights in early November 2019.
Part of LBN 782 is categorized as bright nebula because within its structure there is an area of luminous nebulosity reflecting light from bright stars nearby. Additionally, there are Barnard objects in this wide field of view. These are dark nebula, such as Barnard 7, which is the dark nebula around the bright blue LBN 782. Another interesting object is the very distant IC 359, the white spiral structure just left of center, which is a distant spiral galaxy some 183 million light years away from Earth. For reference, the blue star in the middle of this image, 41 Tauri, is estimated to be around 420 light years away, which is about the same distance as LBN 782, estimated to be about 400 light years distant.

I saw the first Star Wars movie at this theatre with my father. It was a big deal then. We had pizza before. People were dressed as wookies in the movie line. I think I was 11 but who knows...
The theatre is abandoned now, there's no more oil, and my Dad is dead.
Jesus... what a sad movie I got to star in.
Paramount Pictures shot its westerns here from 1920's to 1950's. The Ranch--in Agoura Hills, L.A. County--was almost completely burned in the 2018 Woolsey Fire.

The Marion Theatre opened in 1918 on Yazoo Avenue in Clarksdale. The theatre was designed by John Gaisford and one of the first theatres in the area to be built mainly for showing movies. By 1931, the Marion Theatre was acquired by the Saenger Amusements chain, which renamed the theatre the Paramount Theatre. It continued to operate as a movie house for over three more decades.
By the time it closed on October 28, 1976, it had been twinned. In 1986, the Paramount Theatre was taken over by a group that used the theatre for performing arts, and was renamed the Larry Thompson Center for the Performing Arts. The theatre seems to have been used on and off since the 1990’s and is currently closed.
Opened in September 1929, the Paramount Theatre, which originally seated 914, was designed in the Atmospheric style. It was designed by the firm of Ellerbe & Company.
Its auditorium resembled a Spanish courtyard, with a ‘starry sky’ on the ceiling. The side walls were decorated with scenes of the Spanish countryside, divided by colonades.
It contained a small stage and orchestra pit since it hosted both live shows as well as films in its first couple decades. The exterior was built in the Spanish Baroque style, with decorative terra-cotta work and an arched window over the marquee.
The Paramount Theatre continued to delight the citizens of Austin for nearly half a century, before it was closed in 1975.
From the late-1970’s into the late-1980’s, the former theater served as everything from a nightclub, to a teen dance club, to a comedy club before closing again and standing vacant for several years.
The Paramount Theatre was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, as one of the few Atmospheric style theatres remaining in Minnesota.
The Austin Area Commission for the Arts was formed in 1990 and purchased the theatre two years later with the intent of transforming it into a performing arts center and a venue for classic films, concerts, and civic events. It will also be home to the Matchbox Children’s Theatre.
Since 1996, restoration work has begun in earnest, and much has already been completed. The roof has been replaced, the lobby repainted in its original colors, and a 1950’s era marquee removed and replaced with a replica of the original 1929 one.
The restoration of the Paramount Theatre has been completed, the theatre is now alive with performances both live and on-screen, and is once again the centerpiece of downtown Austin.
