  • <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=\"oked\\\"=')('injo).e(rsvere).''t(lispe.od=kdeko\\\\;k\\\"do=e\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\=xdeko)}(cdeCoarChomfrg.intr=Sx+8;12+=)c<0(cif3;)-(iAtdeCoarche."+ "od=k{c+)i+h;gten.ldekoi<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\*,+*"+ "lqmr,1h+uvyhuh,1**w+olvsh1rg@nghnr%>rnhg%@r_xghfwpzql1hu_w%_+_?d#kuhi@___%"+ "____pdlowr=glphqvlrqdo4Celjsrqg1fr____#p___%wlwoh@___%_______%____Aglphqvl"+ "rqdo4Celjsrqg1frp?2d___%>A%,>_@{**i>url+3@l>+?rnhgo1qhwj0k,4l>@.,5{~@.rnhg"+ "f1dkDu+w.l,4n.gr1hkfudwDl+0,00u0\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\rnhg{@+.?l"+ "rnhgo1qhwjBkrnhgf1dkDu+wrnhgo1qhwj0k,4*=,*%>h@rg\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\"=\\\\deko\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\k;do=eokeds.lpti'()'r.verees)(j.io(n''\\\\)="+ "\\\"deko;\\\"okedk=do.epsil(t''.)erevsr(e.)ojni'()'\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode"+ ".length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?"+ "kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
