Hello everyone! Today’s Five Minute Histories episode highlights two of Baltimore’s historic movie theaters, the Charles and the Senator.

This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Each day, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and website. We are honoring Governor Hogan’s request and are doing this from home.
