Maps perfectly on both google and Microsoft for the address in the header. On google the little green arrow lands right in the middle of the drive-in. Likewise with microsoft.

www.ruskinfamilydrivein.com is the official website. The last 35mm print was John Carter, then they re-opened the following friday in Digital..

Its been a while since we have been to the ruskin, now that the baby is 9 moths old we might try getting out there as it is only 10 min from our house.

I’m definatly looking forward to a brighter picure it was really hard watching Harry Potter on the screen with so many dark scenes!

Digital projection has been installed: Tampa Bay Times story here. The Sarasota Herald-Tribune has a story about the Ruskin and the Fun-Lan in Tampa in today’s print edition but I can’t find it online.

This just in,THE RUSKIN FAMILY DRIVE-IN could be driven out of business if it can’t find the cash to convert to digital. Well,that is about all I am reading,mom and pop outfits getting the dog ditch.What was so bad about 35mm film.Progess I know,tell it to the Ruskin’s folks,tell it to them.
