If you helped tear it down, wouldn’t you be a deconstruction worker then? :)

I saw movies here when my father was stationed at Ft. Lee (1964 – 1967). I remember all the kids playing on the playground (in front of the big screen) as dark approached. This drive-in was responsible for my life-long love of Orange Crush.
