1619 Pennsylvania Avenue
West Baltimore City, Maryland
..
While the
Royal Theatre
on Pennsylvania Avenue was the most famous theatre
on
The Avenue, it was not the largest. That honor
goes to
the Regent Theatre, located in the 1600 block of
Pennsylvania Avenue, just south of the Penn Hotel.
The theatre survived for years, but was torn down
in the late 1970's for a bowling alley called the
Shake and Bake Center. While the Shake and Bake
Center is a plus for the area, it is
still a shame to see yet another old movie house
on Pennsylvania Avenue get torn down.
