In the 1930's and 1940's, North Avenue was
considered the northern most boundary of Baltimore City, and development
was spread along both sides of the street. Across the street from the Centre
Theatre , is the Aurora Theatre, and a little to the West of the Aurora
is the Parkway Theatre.
The Centre was a Art Deco treat, and opened to great fanfare back in the
1930's. The theatre has long since closed, and for years it was the headquarters
for WFBR Radio. The building is still in excellent condition, and while the
lettering has been removed, the old vertical tower still stands. The entrance
has long been sealed. .......
