A mixed-use complex purpose-built for cinema right around the time the industry imploded. Despite the name it is unclear whether a theater ever operated here; the building was evidently designed to accommodate one. Despite not showing films the signage remains and the building is a local landmark with busy ground-floor shops.

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.
