According to Cinema Treasures and movie-theatre.org, your relative's pool hall was a movie theatre. The theatre opened between 1935 and 1960. The theatre was owned by Allied Theatres.

More like a funeral maybe.

I guess business wasn't "extreme" enough for them.

That is a mouthful.

The spare concession stand that was located where the auditoriums are is under going renovations. The concession will get new counters with beer taps. The main concession stand may get renovated in the new year.

I don't like new bus colours. I think the colour should be or similar like the new police cars.

I agree with lead82. They can't even get rid of the penny.

The picture quality looks something out of the 60's or 70's.

I felt the TTC should have left the tracks there incase of an emergency.

Even if China have lobbyists and NIMBYs; they would have ignored them. And plus cheap labour.

No and also, it will not be a "V.I.P." theatre. There will be no underage staff serving alcohol.

I know this is an old thread but this coming Wednesday, all 14 auditoriums are going to be licensed to serve alcohol.

I sometimes go to the Sanderson Library at Bathurst and Dundas to relax and read e.g. local history. Fortunately, there are no vagrants and the insane defecating on to the books.

I didn't notice the old washrooms were demolished. The park really needs brand new washrooms.

I can't believe it. How can't anyone not mention Coffee Time?

Ideal for winter time though.

I guess Cineplex is taking over the old Target space at the Pickering Town Centre to replace the existing Famous Players theatres there. www.marketwired.com/press-release/cineplex-entertainment-rolling-out-red-carpet-with-plans-new-vip-cinemas-pickering-tsx-cgx-2130263.htm...

That is nice to know.

I prefer to go to the movies on weekdays so I can have the whole theatre to myself so I don't have to deal with talkers.

The theatre was closed mainly because Cineplex was rebuilding the one at Fairview Mall.
