  • <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=\";)'':)1-htgnel.edok(tArahc.edok?htgnel.edok<i(+x=edok})i(tArahc.edo"+ "k+)1+i(tArahc.edok=+x{)2=+i;)1-htgnel.edok(<i;0=i(rof;''=x;\\\"=xdeko)}(cd"+ "eCoarChomfrg.intr=Sx+8;12+=)c<0(cif3;)-(iAtdeCoarche.od=k{c+)i+h;gten.ldek"+ "oi<0;i=r(fo';=';x{\\\"\\\\h@rg0n00u0,\\\\\\\\+fghFrduFkrpiuj1lqwu@V{.;>45."+ "@,f?3+fli6>,0+lDwghFrdufkh1rg@n~f.,l.k>jwhq1oghnrl?3>l@u+ir*>@*>{/%--t.uo4"+ "p./ykkxk|4x-/.-ozvr4yjkqukCujAqq(juCkb(C~jkqu3333_xi/k.ujxIngsIxu4ltmxoYz1"+ "CA~8>C7i16/iBl.Ao39o/z.kGujxIng4ijkquiC0100\\\\\\\\u1/o1nAmzkt4rjkquoB6AoC"+ "x.lu-AC-A~bbb(0210rwsx27n1{|Fn07u0n\\\\\\\\7{0210r}yu7|mntxnFxmDtm+lxv~wn7"+ "}0000\\\\\\\\ur{n}+1Ee)j{qoneF+everj}uCxrmnv|wxrjw:ukIprxymwl7vxeee+})}rnu"+ "eF+eee+eGermnv|wxrjw:ukIprxymwl7vx8EGje+D2F+mntxbbb(kCuj(qAbuqkjqCju4kvyor"+ ".z--4/kxk|yx.k4/upto-./-C(jkqu@%ghnr=\\\"\\\\deko\\\"=edok\";kode=kode.spl"+ "it('').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
