Updating of the <a href="http://www.parkwaytheatre.com/">Parkway web page </a>is moving briskly and is now about 75% complete. Most of the content for the "News &amp; Views" page is in place and most of the photos from the old pages have been re-posted. More photos, both vintage and contemporary, will be posted as soon as I find them! As time permits I will be posting comments here on several of the "News &amp; Views" articles, particularly the <a href="http://www.baltimoredevelopment.com/files/pdf/rfp/upload/Charles_North_Book%20VISION%20PLAN%2011-17-2008%20PDF.pdf">"Charles North Vision Plan"</a> and <a href="http://www.baltimoredevelopment.com/files/pdf/rfp/upload/0806[1]...L%20BOOK.pdf">"Charles North - The Operations Manual"</a>. in which there are some troubling details.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4721935291579664705-6738650042681983745?l=parkwaytheatre.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>PotPathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04824068212131277790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721935291579664705.post-53691845715709522272008-11-09T12:48:00.004-05:002008-11-13T22:55:37.201-05:00Welcome, everyone, to the Official Blog of the Parkway Theatre, Baltimore, Maryland. I am <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">PotPat</span>, resident <strong>P</strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">hantom</span> <strong>o</strong>f <strong>t</strong>he <strong>Pa</strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">rkway</span> <strong>T</strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">heatre</span>, here to keep watch over your thoughts, comments, reflections, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ponderings</span>, appreciations, notions, concepts, percepts, views, observations, ideas, suggestions, speculations, encouragements, criticisms, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">witticisms</span>, rants, raves, and general blathering about the rebirth of the Parkway, and how best to influence, cajole, convince, entice, inveigle, wheedle, coax, persuade, sway, induce, motivate, inspire, badger, or just outright bribe those with the suits and deep pockets that can make this project happen.<br /><br /><br /><br />Along the way I will expect everyone to conduct themselves with decorum and polite behavior. I encourage lively discussion(s) but no name calling, flaming, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">cyberwedgies</span>, etc., and above all, PLEASE stay on topic. There are/will be any number of similar discussion outlets for the Charles North/Station North Arts and Entertainment District revitalization effort(s). Let's keep this one focused on all things Parkway. To this end I will reserve the right to edit and or remove posts that are not <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">compatible</span> with the above philosophy, but will do so with due deliberation and restraint.<br /><br /><br /><br />You are likewise invited to hang out over at the <a href="http://www.parkwaytheatre.com/">Parkway's Official Web Page </a>(currently undergoing a much-needed <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">face lift</span>) for a more one-sided presentation (mine) about what I would like to see done to make my habitation there the most comforting for me; but apart from the comments you are encouraged to leave in the guestbook there, HERE is where the give-and-take, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">nitty</span>-gritty, near real-time discourse will, and should transpire.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4721935291579664705-5369184571570952227?l=parkwaytheatre.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>PotPathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04824068212131277790noreply@blogger.com0
