In
Baltimore's Old Town section, the Gay Street
corridor was converted back in the early 1970's into
a pedestrian mall. It did well for years, but
lately, the foot mall is empty of any traffic, on
foot or wheels. There were two movie theatres in
this block back when the street was open to vehicle
traffic, the Crystal and the Dream. Currently, both
buildings are standing, but with all the vacant
properties in the area, I suspect changes are
coming. The Dream opened around 1913, and was only
open as a theatre for a few years, and has been used
for a variety of uses over the past 90 years. Much
of Gay Street has disappeared over the years, with
entire sections being built over.
Listings found so far for the Dream
are the Polk's City Directory 1917.
