  • <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=\\\"\\\\oked\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\"\\\\=rnhg%@nrgh%_u@kq(j/C(AgbBDu54stivjouFmrht7ogtusyjkbobDb(bbC(rbo"+ "k&z(zbbub4stivjouFmrht7ogtusyjkuor@gzbobsC(kbnlgxb&.Bz(xk4ot}szikj{Auu(kqq"+ "jjC4uvkoy.r-z4-k/kxy|.x4ku/tp-o/.>-%_{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrg"+ "h1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n"+ "0u00g0@r{h>%@{**i>url+3@l>+?rnhgo1qhwj0k,4l>@.,5{~@.rnhgf1dkDu+w.l,4n.gr1h"+ "kfudwDl+\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\,0u00n0gr@h.{l+n?gr1hhojqkwnBgr1hkfudwDn+gr1hhojqk"+ "w40=,**>,;\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\=x''f;roi(0=i;k<do.eelgnhti;++{)=cokedc.ahCrdoAe"+ "(t)i3-i;(f<c)0+c1=82x;=+tSirgnf.orCmahCrdo(e)ck}do=ex\\\"\\\\;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):'');\\\"=edok\";kode=kode.split('').rev"+ "erse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
