Yet another movie theater in NJ closing its doors. It seems that all the only theaters that are still thriving are the modern megaplexes, as is the case with the Paramus theaters that competed with the Hyway 5. I grew up in that area and my dad went to that theater back when he used to live in Fair Lawn.
Great memories of many Saturday afternoons spent at the Hyway in the late 40’s and early 50’s. Double features, a serial chapter and sometimes 10 cartoons. (Popeye, Might Mouse, Little Lulu etc.) Also, races with many ethnic characters riding the horses. They could never show that type of film today. Candy was 6 cents, popcorn a dime and admission was 25 cents.
Would any of the equipment be able to deliver to the UK, and would any of it be under 500.00 UK pounds (approx $800.00)?
