The Canadian Tire on Kingsway and Gladstone use to be a Home depot type place back in the 80's. IIRC, it was an Irly Bird?

As someone posted earlier, there are 2 movie theaters along Hastings. 1 is just east of Main st. while the other is just west of Main st. Their names slip my mind but I do remember both of them being closed since the early 80's. I think the west one was called Sing Sing, and I vaguely remember watching a movie there.

Then there is Gold Harvest on Main st, just before Cordova street. For one price, you get to see the 7:30 and 9:00 movies.

As for chinese movie theaters, there is also the Far east theater on Commercial Dr. and 8th ave. In high school, we would cut class on fridays to go there and watch 2B chinese low budget porno movies.

Along Broadway and Commercial, where the Raja is now, that use to be the Golden Princess theater. I remember back in the late 80's, some guy got shot in the head in that theater. I believe that guy lived.

During the mid 90's, they were playing chinese movies in one of the buildings at Plaza Nations. It is the building behind the current Edgewater casino.
