Jinma Theater (金馬戲院) was a second-run theater operating out of the basement of a commercial building on Shifu Road (市府路) in Taichung, presumably in the 1980s and into the 1990s. It was located below a gaming parlor of the same name (金馬遊樂場). Current conditions are unknown, but it is presumably long gone.

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).
