This newspaper clipping was found in the RMIT AFI Research Collection manila folder titled "Drive-ins" number 385.3. The article describes the changing world of the 1990's with a range of topics from discos to unemployment. There is a breif overview of the dates and closing reasons for a number of venues; including Starlite Village Drive-in, Frankston. The author, John Lahey, blames "the end" of drive-in culture on the price of movie tickets to that of hiring movies from patrions local stores. Also included are interviews from general manager of Village; Mr David Aaiders, and Terry Jackman; managing director of Hoyts, who are deeply saddened by the decrease in movie-goers. The main article is accompanied by a map diagram with a legend that explains which venues are "cosed" and "to be closed" in the Victoria, Australia area. Sites included: Reservoir, Preston, Coburg, Essendon, Sunshine, Altona, Brooklyn, Toorak, Burwood, Wantima, Rowville and Dandenong. |
