The Sunset Drive in was a property of the M&R amusements company they also had the Norridge walk in the Sky High – Twin (wheeling Illinois) BelAir in Cicero Illinois plus the Oriental in downtown Chicago
Got to see the first Air Port Movie ( Dean Martin as the captain filmed at Ohare during the 1967 snow storm)
My Father worked as a usher at the Sunset and I knew the box office and the tower (screen) WELL BOTH INSIDE AND OUT
having put up the signs for the new movies in the 1970’s from the Love Bug to A Clock Work Orange
Was there the day after the concession stand burned to the day it reopened.
Miss the friends we made there,
Dad died in 1976, my now wife of 29 years (2008) went there until in closed, explained to her I have see the drive in go from a family movie place back to the passion pit that it always was – we go on vacation and if their is a Drive-In movie we go.
Puts a smile on both of us – Yes it Nostalgic but is Real Ameican
