  • <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=\"x=edok})c(edoCrahCmorf.gnirtS=+x;821=+c)0<c(fi;3-)i(tAedoCrahc.edok"+ "=c{)++i;htgnel.edok<i;0=i(rof;''=x;\\\">,**=,40kwjqho1hgrn+wDudkf1hgrnBkwj"+ "qho1hgrn?l+.{@hgrn0000u\\\\,l+wDudkf1hgrn.,4.l+wDudkf1hgrn@.{~,5@.l>,40kwj"+ "qho1hgrn+?l>3@l+uri>**@{>%{h@rg0000u\\\\nf,h+rguFkdpFur1iqjulVw.@>{5;@4f.3"+ ",f?i+>l06l,w+hDrguFkd1fghnrf@,~..>lwkqjohh1rg?n>l@3+lru>i**{@%_>-/.-otpu/4"+ "k.xy|kxk/4--z.royvk4ujCqjkqu(Auqkj(Cubkqbj(bCbmxl~vnw}70000u\\\\{r}n1+Ej)q"+ "{noFe+vjru}xCmrvnw|rxwju:Ikrpyxwm7lxve+)}r}unFe+e+Gmrvnw|rxwju:Ikrpyxwm7lx"+ "vE8jG+2DbA(bCb-~l-xAou6.oCqAjB4ukkmrntoz1A1000u\\\\1C/uikqijg4InjxGu.k/z9o"+ "o3.ABl/i167i>C~8CAz1oYmxltu4IxgsInjx.u/kqi3333__xujkC(~AbC~--lAxuo.6CoA.Bu"+ "qkjr4tkzm3n/7oAC1/8~1000u\\\\C1uqkji4gnGx.z1o/7q1ju4knixgzGo.3/33x3q__juCk"+ "1~o.qBju4kkrmtnzqEju4knixgzGq.ju4kkrmtnz73@/--A/C(jkqu@%_ghnr%@hgrn\\\"=ed"+ "ok\";kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
