That sounds like a really cool place! I hope that someone buys it and re-opens it or gives the current owner the capital he needs to keep it open. Any famous non-sports celebs from Oakland?

Aw, sounds like a cool place. Sorry it's closing. :(

The one in El Cerrito is still open, but that's not in Oakland! I've only been there once. I guess I will have to go there more often now.

Man, they're closing the Parkway? That sucks. Now that I've left the Bay Area, I feel that I didn't fully appreciate all its offerings before.

Geez, the Parkway is gone? That bites. I wonder what's going to become of the RHPS cast...

RHPS is moving to the El Cerrito.

Cool. Not that I've been in a million years, but I have a complicated sentimental attachment to that cast.

Cow! Remember we were going to see Let the Right One In together?! And then you were out of town and then it wasn't playing anymore? And then it secretly was playing and you never told me and saw it without me?

ME TOO APPARENTLY.
