I used to play in the orange groves in the early/mid 1960s that became the site for Sunshine Mall in 1968. Sunshine Mall’s first theater in 1968 was a single-theater called “Trans-Lux Theater” — it was expanded and split into two theaters just a year or two later, about 1970. Soon after, it expanded again and split into the five-theater “Sunshine Mall 5” in the mid/late 1970s if I remember right. It was a great theater experience in all of its manifestations, and each theater was larger than nowadays. (The mall had a great diner called Robert’s Cafeteria too.)
