@jk at least "burger king" rhymes with "cinescene" ... that's all i've got. nice work tho!
@myrrh whats interesting is that when they converted that small cinema to a burger king, they left the movie screen in the back part of the restaurant, so for a while at least (maybe up until about 1999), i think you could watch SOMETHING projected on it (maybe not whole movies, but TV? MTV??) while you ate your fast food! They used to have kids birthday parties etc. in there. even now you can still see the part of the restaurant where it used to be
@myrrh yeah! I went in there today actually, unfortunately all that's left is "oddly shaped large part of the room" and all that remains of the cine-screen is a TV hanging on the (now refitted) back wall :(

@myrrh somehow I managed to find the ONE picture on the internet from before they changed it, and also the exterior of the restaurant when it was painted in more "movie themed" livery!

@jk i love this story so much. i live on america's west coast, where there's a culture of erasing and rebuilding rather than integrating the history of places; it's so weird and ugly to me. i love when places - even corporations - acknowledge the relationship of past and place. so fascinating.
