We’ve said it before, but this time we really mean it (we think): The New Parkway is likely weeks away from signing a lease. This should put the theater (or at least a new one in its image) on track to reopen in Oakland by the end of the year. There’s just one problem: With negotiations continuing at two promising new locations — one in Temescal, in the old Omni Nightclub; the other in Uptown, in a warehouse at Broadway and 23rd — plus the sudden return of the Parkway Theater to the fold this week after months of harrowing back and forth with the landlord and a denied lease offer as recently as late last month, J. Moses Ceasar of The New Parkway faces a difficult decision.
