some of those old movie posters are worth money today. I can still remember my dad taking old ones down and stuffing them into those trash cans and throwing them away when he was ready to hang up new ones! thousands of them must have gone through his 3 drive ins over the decades!
Great addition to the photo line-up! This goes along with the B&W photo of my dad’s photo. I’m just guessing about the date on it. I was all of about 6 years of age when it was taken.
I’m 70 years old and know that my heirs will most likely toss all my old photo and slide collection in the trash. I’m posting them so that they can live on for others to share.

you almost can’t figure out what it WAS.
this photo would have to predate 1952, before the screen and lot were enlarged. also before the 2nd snack bar was added
I remember me and my sister playing with them, there was a box full of them.
I was just a little kid when they tried the cooler experiment. I remember how it knocked me over when they turned them for the first time!
does anyone know when this photo was taken?
check out the calender, that’s about the time the 99 was torn down!
I still have that clock and it still keeps perfect time
You would have to stand way back in a corner of the lot to see how huge the 99 was. It held 1500 cars!
remember those horrible B rated sci-fi movies from the 1950’s? my dad made a ton of money off of them!

The theater had really gotten ratty looking because I took these photos just before it was to be torn down. We always kept them up real nice and tidy.
this photo gives you some tiny idea of how large the 99 was. it held 1500 cars!
this photo was taken just before the 99 was torndown in the fall of 1982. That’s why it’s so ratty looking.
I though that I would give you a correct street view since yours was so wrong.
You can see how old this ad is, the phone number has NO prefix!
We had alot of old photos like this around the house, but over the years they got destroyed and tossed out.

This is what has happened to so many drive ins!

This photo was taken in 1982. The “back” snack bar had, by this time, been boarded up and used for storage.
This is what happened to all 3 of our drive in theaters. The 99, Terrace, and So. Chester are now history!
