In the 1940's , movie houses were beginning to show up in the shopping centers that were popping up all around the Baltimore Area. Middle River was where much of the war efforts in aircraft development were undergoing at Martin Marietta, and the Aero Theatre, named after the nearby plant opened in the 1940's. The theater appears to have been the subject of a Library of Congress photo of suburban theaters seen below, but when I checked the area in the 1980's, the theater was hard to spot, and appears that it was used as a warehouse for years, before being torn down. The site is currently a Food Lion store and the old theatre building has been completely razed. ( Food Store seen below ) ....................................................

This was the shopping center that the Aero was located in , and appears to have been quite a welcome sight for the newly built neightborhood of Aero Acres when it opened. . In later years, the entire shopping center was used for different types of uses, and it was impossible to tell that  a movie theatre had once been there.   Do you remember the Aero Theatre ? Kilduffs would love to hear from you !! Please feel free to email Kilduffs with any questions or comments .

More Theatres can be found at Kilduffs Theatre Survey, including the nearby Midway and Hiway Theatres !!
