So sad… I had always assumed that the Airport hadn’t made enough money to stay open, not that a stubborn landlord had done it in. What a great vibe this drive-in had – lots of families out on lawnchairs and blankets at the front. My boyfriend at the time and I would bring in a pizza or chicken pasta salad made up in massive quantities and chow down. I had a 70 Caddy Sedan deVille, and the ramps were perfect to make this the very height of luxury viewing. Sometimes there were lots of beautiful classic cars lined up in the back. Nothing but good memories….
I’d like to find out more about the Strand signage during the depression years – anyone have any ideas where I could look for info on that? One thing I’d like to know in particular is what colour the bulbs were, and if possible, how they blinked. Seems like this might be the sort of thing that muray would know, since he actually worked there – anyone know how I might get in touch with him?
