It's looking pretty shabby these days. The only remnant of it's original early 80s layout in the Pancake Parlour- you can see the sign in the middle of the photo. A generation of Melbourne teens wasted their Saturday nights there. Before Centrepoint was built, that downstairs area was a cinema called the Odeon. I got this badge when Centrepoint opened:
Though I cannot remember where I got this one from:
Myer Lonsdale St was looking very ratty towards the end.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to the city for an excursion in 1989 and some kids from our group getting busted shoplifting from the city. Also there was a private museum in Chinatown?
Mid City where Chinatown Cinema is is getting rennovated, they still haven't opened the new escalator to the shops so Red Silks is getting shafted.
