I used to own a house in Litchfield (2000-2006)and would go to the Bantam Cinema every now and then. It was often drafty and cold, the sound wasn’t the greatest, but what it lacked in technology it more than made up in charm. It seemed as if the treats at the concession stand were all homemade…old fashioned bags of popcorn, home baked cookies and that sort of thing. I havent been back in a few years but hope it never changes.
My sister and I were delightfully surprised to find that people have fond (if “creepy”) memories of The Harbor Drive In Theater! Our father owned it and we have some great old memories of the swap meet, playground and snack bar.
We had the best chili….does anyone remember the chili dogs? Who knows what was in that stuff but it sure tasted good.
I remember my dad saying it was “the end of an era” when the land became a condo site. It certainly was true for us.
Some of your comments really made me laugh. Thanks for that.
Will look for some photos – of course there must be some around.
