  9. Not quite a Hollywood ending at the Senator

    It's easy to see why the city's sale of the <a href=&quot;http://findlocal.baltimoresun.com/belvedere-square-govans/home/vintage-movie-house/senator-theatre-baltimore-movie-theater">Senator Theatre</a> gave Comptroller Joan Pratt heartburn. The city paid $810,000 for the movie palace three years ago and this week sold it for a $310,000 loss. Worse yet, the city is hardly washing its hands of the seemingly snakebit property. It will hold the mortgage &#8212; and charge a minuscule 2 percent in interest. The city is putting up an additional $700,000 loan to the theater's new owners, who are also receiving a loan from the state and another from a bank. Too much debt brought the Senator to the brink of failure several times before, and if it does so again, the theater will be right back in the city's hands.

  11. State Center backers dismiss recent setbacks

    A vision to create a 21st-century urban village in midtown Baltimore has faced more potential setbacks in the past month than perhaps at any time in the decade-long effort to transform State Center, the aging state government office complex along Preston Street, into a $1.5 billion mix of offices, homes, shops and plazas.
