It really is beautiful

I saw the REnewed Paramount last week. It really is beautiful and adds a LOT to a space that has basically been a big hole in Downtown Crossing for years (albeit, not as big as that giant hole a few blocks away...). Emerson really did a great job with the restoration.

Gorgeous building!! So now..

will they bring back the arcade next door?

Arcade Building

which is properly called the Bijou, now contains a black box theatre, a film screening room, offices, studios, and a future dormitory for Emerson students.
