ABC Wednesday: Q is for quiet

This sign is back stage at the renovated Paramount Theater.  The Paramount is the most deco-y building you'll find in California.  It has previously been featured many times including here, here, and here.  It remains a performance venue for monthly movies and concerts.  For more takes on Q, visit ABC Wednesday.

  3. As ladyfi pointed out, great typography on the sign - the fonts are typical of the era in which the sign was made. Good choice for "Q", Carolyn!

  6. OK, OK, OK, I'm being as quiet as I can.

    Next time out your way, I'll try to get in touch. It is hard to believe that in ten days out there I had no free time, but that is actually how this trip went.

  7. Good luck with that in a big city! Really like the photo - it looks like a behind-the-scenes shot of a 1930's radio broadcast.
