When I toured the place I got this weird feeling, almost like Vertigo, because I was totally flashing back to my childhood. It was so cool. Even though I didn't grow up in the area, it looked almost the same as the drive-in I used to go to when I was a kid, "Highway 39," with the picture of the sailboat, ocean and palm trees on the backside of the movie screen.

I love drive in movies!!!
Lol that was my drive-in growing up - but I had forgotten the name - off Beach Blvd. right? We used to call it Hwy. 69 back in high school I know - we were bad lol. The last movie I remember seeing there was Purple Rain - good times!
