Rural cinema constructed in a town that prospered from the banana trade in the 1960s. The Art Deco elements on the façade are quite stylish, and while it is no longer used as a theater, townspeople still gather here to sing karaoke. Be sure to appreciate the banana trees out front! Closed in 1973.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
