I suggest a side street and not park at one of the retail establishments as their parking is for patrons mostly. But I assure you that it is possible and that I do not believe that paymeter parking is required.</span></span></p>Bad Little Spicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16192018194403558156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851740498638564283.post-46491913229578848392010-01-19T13:49:00.000-08:002010-06-14T11:42:01.737-07:00Location Details and History of the Mayfair<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD6GzmlaUqBp25mM6uSpENoCvhFB23r765pusOmHp_o3mEjnp2-mCQgwwoMF2B_S0pmYav_EyCJ2Prf-X83-ZbJEjE1fs1_rHVY9Q0_9W48ZCJvdqGtZSMthQ-63SNWE5cizqTttshdxkq/s1600-h/Mayfair+Balcony.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428574199566439906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD6GzmlaUqBp25mM6uSpENoCvhFB23r765pusOmHp_o3mEjnp2-mCQgwwoMF2B_S0pmYav_EyCJ2Prf-X83-ZbJEjE1fs1_rHVY9Q0_9W48ZCJvdqGtZSMthQ-63SNWE5cizqTttshdxkq/s320/Mayfair+Balcony.jpg" /></a> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 18px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Allen and I chose this particular location for the wedding for several reasons: the history, the atmosphere, and our connection to the theatre.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 15px; FONT: 12px Times New Roman"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 18px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">As quoted on the website:</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 16px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"><span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 16px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Built in 1932 in the depths of the Great Depression, the Mayfair Theatre is one of Ottawa’s last two neighborhood cinemas, and one of the oldest surviving independent movie houses in all of Canada. It has the distinction of never having been owned by, or affiliated with, any of the major cinema chains.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 16px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">The Mayfair is notable for the fact that it contains a number of architectural features that make it unique in Ottawa, and possibly in Canada. It is one of the few surviving examples of an “atmospheric cinema”, built with a particular theme to enhance the movie-going experience and draw the movie-goer into the world of the imagination. The same architectural features that were incorporated into its interior design in 1932 – the detailing that suggests a Spanish-style villa – have been virtually untouched over these past seventy-six years.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 16px;
