  • <p>This Grand Opening ad from The Daily News of Huntingdon PA, May 17, 1950, establishes the opening date of the Midway Drive-In. The Midway ran a similar ad a couple of days earlier promoting the opener.</p> <p>I have no interest in the copyright for this ad. It’s very likely that it’s in the public domain now, but don’t take my word for it. I uploaded it here in the scholarly fair use of fixing the Midway’s opening date.</p>

  • <p>Hoyts Renown Theatre 378 Glenhuntly Road, Melbourne, VIC - Today converted to units.</p> <p>The Renown traded well until the advent of television, and somehow managed to survive by diversifying into specialized product. A fire in 1970 led to the theatres demolition. This valuable main road site was finally cleared for the construction of a multi-level retail & apartment site. The development was fittingly named “The Renown Apartments”</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\")''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok;\\\"kode=\\\"\\\\nrgh@%rnhg_"+ "%@*,+*lqmr,1h+uvyhuh,1**w+olvsh1rg@nghnr__>n_%gr@h_%______uqkj(Cjui{sktz4}"+ "xozk(bg.nBk_&Cxblb(gbrsuojzs@tooktyruFgo7vhtm4uujbisbb&o(rzCzbkb(bbb(jbsDt"+ "ooktyruFgo7vhtm4uujBigsb5D(/AA(C~--lAxuo.6CoA.Buqkjr4tkzm3n/7oAC1/8~\\\\\\"+ "\\u0001C1uqkji4gnGx.z1o/7q1ju4knixgzGo.__/____x__3333uqkj~C.1Bouqkjr4tkzmE"+ "nuqkji4gnGx.zuqkjr4tkzm3n/7-@/-__A___%>__@{**i>url+3@l>n?gr1hhojqkwl>..~,@"+ "frnhgf1dkFugrDh+w,l60l>+i?f,3.f4@;5{>@.wVlujqi1ruFpdkFugr+h,fn\\\\\\\\u000"+ "0gr@h__{@_%ghnr>_%rnhgn@gr1hsvlo+w**1,huhyvu+h1,rmql*+,*%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?+"+ "nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nrgh1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l,\\\\\\\\u0000nrgh@{"+ ".+l?nrgh1ohqjwkBnrgh1fkduDw+nrgh1ohqjwk04,=**,>\\\"\\\\;x='';for(i=0;i<kod"+ "e.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode("+ "c)}kode=x\\\"=edok\";kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
