A drive-in next to Texas Stadium? Ugh.

No go on the auditorium photos. The minister or whatever he was wouldn’t allow it. Here are the rest of the photos:

I’m in the theater, but the church person told me to wait for the service to finish before taking pics of the interior. There are a half dozen people or so being preached to. Not much has changed inside since the movie days. I will post the pictures later.

I was working in a Santa Monica record store in 1986 when I met John Hughes. The Breakfast Club soundtrack was playing when I was ringing up an impressive stack of obscure sixties albums for him. We commented on the coincidence. That was the first and last time I saw him.
