I think this drive-in might the one seen on an episode of Car Chasers(season 1, episode 2 – Stacks of cash and a hidden stash) at the swap meet looking at cars!?
The food hall that was there, i think contained the first Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC) store in the Perth city area!? No idea what was else in the food hall, or if the food hall had a name? I saw the Grand theatre being demolished. When most of the theatre was demolished, i saw there a picture painted on the inside of the back wall. I’ve no idea what the picture was, but there a female in the picture i think? I’ve no idea if the picture was painted for the Grand theatre, or for Pizza Showtime or for the food hall?
Sun Pictures is now 100 years old(9/12/16)!! It is the first outdoor theatre in the World to turn 100 years old!! There is a free movie screening(at 6.45pm, Australian Western Standard Time) of the movie “Elf” for current and past owners and the public!! Unknown if any other celebrations are planned?
I see what you mean about the sign! You can’t read the name Westview Drive-in any more! I hope the sign gets fixed, not replaced!
I think the drive-in is between a prison(youth?) and a caravan park(other side of Westside Street)?
