3 BIG ACTION BOMBS

Did “BOMBS” have a different meaning in the early sixties?

Listed in the 1975 IMPA as the Davie Boulevard Drive-In located in Fort Lauderdale. Car capacity given for that year is 750.

A couple of corrections can be made here:

The name was Davie Boulevard Drive-In, and it was in Fort Lauderdale, not Davie. An early-1960s city directory listed it at 3200 Davie Blvd. — not 3100 — which looks correct on the maps and agrees with my own knowledge of the large block it took up. It was replaced by the shopping center seen there now.

We lived about five minutes away, and I have a number of very nice memories of attending this neighborhood drive-in, both with my family and on my own dates, in the early-mid-1960s.
