“Star Wars” played on the island at this theater. The lines were halfway across the parking lot some days.

My family piled into the Country Squire wagon and went to see “The Poseidon Adventure” at Ledgewood in ‘72 or '73. The second movie was a horrid bit of drivel called “Prudence and the Pill.” This was my first visit to a drive-in and I loved it!

Seeing “Poseidon” on a drive-in is something I have never forgotten. A few years later I made a point of seeing “Star Wars” at a drive in because of how awesome that first experience was.

I recently visited my old hometown (Dover) and took a drive out 46 to see how things had changed. While I knew the drive in was no more, I took the opportunity to walk the old location and could just about see its boundaries in some spots.

Really surprising was that the old antique store is still there, though it looks like it should be condemned.

As of October 2006, there is construction at this old drive-in’s site.
