Yes. Small world. Pappas Super Market. Nick’s Subs. Columbia and Eureka movie houses. Dime store. Public bath house.
The 300-seat Eureka Theatre was opened in 1908. In 1913 it was enlarged to seat 450. In was closed as a ‘white’ theatre in mid-1951, and re-opened December 23, 1951 as an African-American theatre. It finally closed in 1952. It operated as a church for many years, and was demolished in 1973 to clear land for Martin Luther King Boulevard.  The columbia was one of the old neighborhood houses demolished during the 1970’s. It was demolished to make way for a boulevard (Martin Luther King) from SW Baltimore to the Howard Street Corridor. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: A story from the past. I was born on Washington Blvd (Pigtown) & lived there until I was 9. I had relatives who lived there & we went back & visited for many years. I went to St. Paul's Church & attended # 22 school . There was a grocery store on Washington Blvd that everybody used. What was the name of the grocery store in your article? I remember it as Pappas or Pappy's as we called it. Is this the same one? I believe Calendar Street was right next to St. Paul's Church. Do you know Mike's & Sophie's last name. It's a small world. |
