CLASSIC 1961 CHEVROLET IMPALA AT CLASSIC BETHESDA THEATRE (PHOTOS)

Last week, Fleming's Ultimate Garage of Rockville displayed a vintage 1961 Chevrolet Impala SS by the historic Bethesda Theatre (now known as the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club).

They don't make 'em like they used to. The Impala hasn't had much style since the mid-90s Impala SS. And while several new movie theaters are under construction in Montgomery County, none are a true movie palace, which the Streamline art deco Bethesda Theatre is.

As both show, with good maintenance, classic icons don't have to be demolished.

Fuzzy dice included!

BOX OFFICE SIGN LIGHTS UP AFTER LONG DARKNESS AT BETHESDA BLUES & JAZZ SUPPER CLUB

The long-dark, neon "Box Office" sign of the historic Bethesda Theatre was aglow once again on Wisconsin Avenue last night.

Now the home of the Bethesda Blues & Jazz supper club, opening March 1, the building is retaining much of its vintage charm. The styles of automobiles have changed, the old Pizza Hut and other nearby structures have been demolished and replaced.  But facing the theater from across Wisconsin, the scene is not all that changed from the 1940s and 50s.  Well, okay, there is an apartment building now looming over it.

The historic theatre was built in 1938, and is an example of Streamline Moderne architecture.

GALAXIE CLEANERS MOVES TO BETHESDA ROW (PHOTOS)

A long-time Bethesda name in dry cleaning has moved from Old Town Bethesda to 4943 Elm Street at Bethesda Row.

Their new shop is open for business.  The old one is empty, but you have to appreciate some of the vintage flooring and signage there. So I've included a picture of that, too. 

As far as the spelling of "Galaxie?"

I love it - it's spelled exactly the same as one of my favorite vintage cars, the Ford Galaxie.
