Massapequa Drive-In

New here. I actually came to this site looking for information about the playground at the Rt 110 Drive-in to prove to my sister that it did indeed have a train! Having validated my memories, I figured the next place to look was the Massapequa site.

I remember the timeline a bit differently from what is posted (thru the late ‘70’s) in the header. My folks took me to Frank Bucks in the mid '60’s, but my mother couldn’t stand the smell of the monkey area, so we never went back! Out front on Sunrise was a big old wood frame building 'JA Rodes Park & Shop’, which burned down in the very late ‘60s or so. Just down the street was the original “Whites of Massapequa” building. Now here is where it gets a bit vague for me, but by the time I began walking to Berner HS in the Fall of 1971, they were well underway with construction on the new Whites building (late comers to the town would know this as the Sears building). Wasn’t this either partially or completely on the Bucks and Drive-in site? That would have made the demise of these establishments around 1970??

Yes. Next door to where the drive-in was.
