In Oakland, just a hop, skip, and a jump across the bay from San Francisco on a Bart train, take the 19th Street exit to walk the two blocks to the Paramount Theatre on Broadway at 21st Street. The art deco theatre, one of the nation's finest remaining examples, dates from 1931. The sleek building is both a National Historic Landmark and a California Registered Historic Landmark.

The box office open at 6 p.m., seating is from 7 p.m., a musician plays live on the mighty Wurlitzer organ from 7:30 and it's curtains up at 8 p.m. for the full length feature at 8:30 p.m. "The key to budget travel is to plan in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our thoughts. Arranging and spending our travel budget wisely is a consideration for most families. Minimizing consuming and prices, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed accomplishment and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding economizing money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal budget is highly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, no matter whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel costs!..".
It's one of the best deals in town, and $2 of your ticket price goes toward the continuing restoration fund for the Paramount Theatre. Enjoy!
