Baltimore, Md. ( Northwest Baltimore City )
Opening day day for the Crest Theatre, circa 1949. Located in the Hilltop Shopping Center, at Reisterstown Road and Rogers Avenue, in Northwestern Baltimore City. The theatre had 1,700 seats, with seats equipped with extra leg room and two smoking loges.
Looking north at the old theatre front. Just across the street is the Hilltop Liquor store, that was once the actual building that the movie Diner was written around. 2004 T. Paul Photo
The Crest Theater today, after being converted into several shops. The lobby area of the old theatre is now a pawn shop, and the actual theatre portion is a church, which you have to use a side entrance to get into .
While the old Crest lobby is now a Pawn Shop, the actual theatre is now a church, which is entered by the side doors shown here. 2004 Thomas Paul Photo
