This week, KQED is proud to present Movie Theaters We Have Lost by Briana Loewinsohn, a cartoonist, teacher and author of the upcoming graphic memoir Raised By Ghosts, about growing up in the East Bay.
At a time of unprecedented movie theater closures, Briana illustrates her memories of shuttered East Bay theaters, and the ways they adorned our lives. Today’s installment is The Parkway in Oakland, which closed in 2009 (and was reborn three years later in a new location).
