Anybody got photos of this drive in? I’ve lived in the area all my life and never saw it or can recall it.
One photo is here.
The entrance is now Ethan Allen. Approx. address for this drive-in was 445 North Rosemead Boulevard.
Replacing an earlier comment that suffered linkrot:
A photo of the marquee of the Hastings Drive-In during construction, featured as the frontispiece of the Modern Theatre section of Boxoffice, October 7, 1950. An additional photo of the completed marquee by night appears on another page of the same issue.
I remember going to this theater with my parents when it first opened. The last time I went was March 1967. It was a wonderful place. They had a playground with swings, etc. for the kids, many of the real little ones were already in their jammies. Good family fun.
That was one gigantic drive-in!
looks huge!
