There were a half-dozen Pussycat theaters in the LA Area/Valley at one time. The theater pages of the LA Times had maybe a column and a half with ‘adult cinema’

Sadly in some ways, the advent of video tape and dvd signaled the end of porn theaters like this. The seediness and illicitness added an element of spice to an evening devoted to seduction. Before the earthquake that closed this theater, it was one way of making a memorable evening for my fiancee/wife and myself.

I also grew up in Peekskill during the 60s, and the drive-in was a regular feature of my weekends. I saw the first half-dozen of the James Bond films on their screens. I learned to fish in the stream that run along one side of the theater, and I can also remember running through the DDT Fog that they used for mosquito control, all three of my children have the normal number of fingers and toes, and otherwise seem normal. Well, sort of normal, at least for teenage human-beings.

I believe that the “Lakeland Acres” referenced in the Robeson incident might have at one time been the semi-private swim club located a half-mile or so southeast of the drive-in. The area looks like it is part of the Golf Club now.
