November 23rd, 1966 grand opening ad in the photo section. Two other GCC cinemas opened on the same day.
Wishful thinking – that’s part of the sign of the neighboring business which was set back from the street.
Looking at the far left of the picture of the Crown, it looks like something shaped like a W…or maybe a crown…is on the roof. Was that true or am I just a victim of wishful thinking? :)
