Welcome
to EverythingCroton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes,
our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
Because we have gotten
so many new requests for follow-up articles on the old THE
STARLIGHT DRIVE-IN, (you can see parts 1 & 2 from 2011 here http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2011/08/croton-memories-starlight-drive-in_15.html
AND http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2011/08/more-croton-memories-more-on-starlight.html),
we thought this was a good time to show you what was playing in 1956, courtesy
of the Croton-on-Hudson Historical Society archives of course. Click on the photos.
How I miss that place. Don't get me wrong. It's nice to have the big screen at home, the surround sound, the ability to order any film you want on demand, but there was something about going out to the drive-in that younger people will never get to experience. That's a real shame.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. There are still a few of these places left in the country but soon they'll all be gone.
ReplyDeleteThe land became more valuable as something else and so it goes.
