The art deco front of Moti Talkies. Behind it, a tower, one of the redeveloped buildings in what was once a low-slung neighborhood, rises into the night sky.

A crop from the previous picture showing a sign strung up from the wrought iron gateway. The sign says: Pay & Park at Moti Talkies

Once a landmark cinema theatre, now, in the era of glass-fronted towers and multiplexes in malls, a parking lot.
