This was the one across the street from the Beverly Center, wasn’t it?

Last visit to the Fairfax was for the Israeli film festival a few years ago. I never saw it before it was multiplexed. Interestingly enough I first noted the old advertisement on the back wall (now painted over) for the first time in 2002 after years of walking up and down Fairfax, usually coming back from Canter’s.

Perhaps the old Strand should be added as a separate theater.

Here is an undated photo. Atlantic Book Shops was a chain with stores in Atlantic City and Ocean City. I bought cheap sci-fi paperbacks at the AC store for years:

This 1957 LA Times ad mentions a Belair Drive-In at the corner of Valley Blvd and Fontana. I’m not sure if they are referring to a Fontana Street or the city of Fontana. If anyone has heard of this drive-in, let me know:

WILKES-BARRE- A former Larksville drive-in theater is being resurrected in hopes it will again attract young people. The West Side Drive-in will be the site of an adventure center for students and others in the Wyoming Valley West community. Lt. Gov. Mark Schweiker on Wednesday announced a $100,000 grant to build a domed facility that will house the district’s alternative education program and recreational facilities for district residents. Schweiker also announced funding
