Baltimore, MD -- 7/5/12 -- md-ambassador-theater-fire-p06-davis -- The north side of the former theater shows the distinctive yellow and brown brick banding, left, and the vertical neon sign, at right. The bricks wrapping around the curved north corner of the facade, seen at center of this photo, had fallen off before the fire. A fire early Thursday morning badly damaged the Ambassador Theatre, built in 1935 on LIberty Heights Ave in Howard Park. (Amy Davis / Baltimore Sun)
