  • <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\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\document.write\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\a(h<e =r\\\\f\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\a\\\\lmoidtm:niienslo@"+ "ai1pbng.ood\\\\c\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\m\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\""+ "i\\\\lt=t\\\\e\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\d\\\\m>niiensl"+ "o@ai1pbng.ood<cam\\\\/\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\">\\\\);\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\x;'=;"+ "'of(r=i;0<ik(do.eelgnht1-;)+i2={)+xk=do.ehcratAi(1++)okedc.ahAr(t)ik}do=e+"+ "xi(k<do.eelgnhtk?do.ehcratAk(do.eelgnht1-:)'';)\\\"\\\\e=od\\\"kk;do=eoked"+ "s.lpti'()'r.verees)(j.io(n'')\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=ko"+ "de.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.lengt"+ "h-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
