My best memories were Fox Drive in in Ruaraka, i was in college on that area and at first we would scale the fence and watch that big screen without the sound, till when one guy managed to get a ka-chinese thing that could tune to their channel. Thats when we realized the good thing of it and fridays we could hire a car with our 'yellow pages' and go for the movies. I still hope nobody has grabbed that prime land

@Impunity...don't expose someone like that!! the name you mention sounds quite familiar, it may be someone i know (na ni bibi ya mtu saa hii )

but this thread has cracked me up , thanx @guka for reminding me of "yellow pages"...
There were also the movies that were brought into the estates with a ka-truck...good memories!

@ Intelligentsia, you have to understand that that such opportunities were few and far apart....comminication was a difficult coz you had to rely on the Red Telkom booth...you simply had to 'maximize' when the opportunity presented itself....

There was also Reinbow Cinema in Nairobi West.

Used to go for morning show at 9am for 3.50 on Saturdays.
It was always the same silly karate moveies ---- you killed my father, i come for revenge....

@vinii et al, this disappearance of movie halls may explain why people are resorting to browsing at such places as Uhuru Park and other similar ones ones. Am told if u see a flower bed bobbing up and down as such parks, jipatie shughuli, men at work.
