THE OLD SWING SETS THAT HUNREDS OF AUGUSTA’S KIDS PLAYED ON ARE STILL UP. CHUCK DRAY TOOK THE SWINGS DOWN AND PUT THEM IN HIS YARD FOR HIS KIDS WHEN THE HILLTOP CLOSED. CHUCK HAS SINCE PASSSED ON BUT THAT WHITE SWING SET IS STILL UP. IT LASTED LONGER THAN THE DRIVE-IN.
That had to be an aberration, Mike.
I REMEMBER DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IN THE 70’S THE HILLTOP PLAYED I KNOW FOR SEVEAL WEEKS;WHICH IS SORT OF UNHEARD OF THE WESTERNS THEY CALL ME TRINTY AND TRINTY IS STILL MY NAME,,, I WONDER IF THESE TWO COMEDY WESTERNS HAD THE SAME RESPONSE FROM MOVIE GOERS. IN OTHER CITIES OR WAS IT JUST SOMETHING BEACUSE I REMEMBER ADS SAYING AUGUSTA WON’T LET THEM GO.
Great introduction, Mike. I was there in 1965-66 but remember nothing about it. If I had a mosquito problem there, it wasn’t memorable. When I got to Leesville LA, I frequently attended a drive-in that was a total mosquito pit. Neither spraying nor closed windows helped.
