Minneapolis CNN —For 90-plus years, the Parkway Theater has been a fixture in South Minneapolis, gathering generation after generation of patrons in front of its lone movie screen.
The Parkway Theater of today is one part revival house cinema, one part performing arts venue, and another part community event space.
