wow this is absolutely gorgeous.
which paramount theater is that??

[exsouvenir]

I know.

In which picture? The 4th picture in the first set is the Paramount in Oakland, California... I think.

thanks! i was actually referring to the one in the exteriors section because it looked like the one here in oakland, but i wasn't sure.

That same Paramount is also in the theatres section as the 11th picture and art deco as 2nd and 8th.

Wow. Just wow.

This is one of the most original picspams I have seen for the current picspammy challenge and I'm just sitting here in awe. I too like to do anything that doesn't require studying or working (I'm currently staring at this and commenting rather than writing my upcoming children's literature paper. I'll blame you if the Professor asks why it's not done :P)

I've never had a particular interest in architecture myself, but this picspam may have just changed all that. I love how you separated the different styles into different sections of the picspam. I think my personal favourite is the Theatre Palaces as they take my breath away, but that may be the history major in me talking as they are all so opulent and have so many beautiful classical elements to them.

Thank you so much for this :) You really exposed me to something I otherwise would never thought to take an interest in!

I'm glad you love it! :) I've never had a picspam influence somebody in such a way. But it's only my third one. Ha.

I figured something different meant something really off the map of what I usually would do- actors, tv shows or movies.

You're welcome! There's not enough time in the world to explore potential things we could be in love with so I'm glad I got someone semi-addicted.

This is amazing! Each theatre is so unique and beautiful. I have a special fondness for art deco, so I'm very pleased you had a section on that style. :-D They just don't make 'em like they used to.

Thank you so much for sharing! ♥

Thank you! I'm just starting to get into to art deco or architecture for that matter- I love the details,

Aw, I'm jealous!

There are no real great theaters in my city for miles to see.

Woooooowww. I mean the architecture is stunning but so is the picspam! I'm absolutely in love with architecture, so I'm pretty much mesmerized by the whole thing. MEMMING.

Yay! I'm glad you like it.
