Fished in the lake before it was drained and filled in for the drive-in. The drive-in was unique due to the arched that held up a railroad overpass. On some nights the trains would rumble over the movie sounds. The last movie I saw there was “The Harder they fall” with Humphrey Bogart.

One of my favorite places to spend a summer day in the 50s was the Blue Dell complex. We would spend the day swimming (one of the largest pools in the Pgh area), then eat and later the drive-in, preferably in the balcony. The Blue Dells claim to fame was the balcony, a bluff over looking the main section of the drive-in. Snacks were acquired by trips up and down the stairs connection the parts. Nice memories.
