Walt owned the Strand? I never knew that, I worked on a public access show with Walt, the “New Music Showcase” a couple of years back. He still does the show and last I heard he has retired as a projectionist from the Enfield Cinema.
I remember when the Strand had dollar nights and would show movies like Led Zeppelins' The Song Remains The Same, we would smoke a couple fatties, eat some shrooms and just dig the hell out of it.
Back when I was a kid mom would ship me and my 6 brothers and 2 sisters off to the Strand or if she had extra jingles the higher class theater the Park, the Park was about a block or two south of the Strand on Main street (rt 20) The Park is still there but has bbeen gutted and now contains a dance studio and a couple of small stores/offices
When I was in High School back in the mid 70’s a couple of my brothers and I worked on a farm that had one field that bordered on the Sundown , the owner of the drive-in and the farmer we worked for were friends and they set up a bench with speakers where we could go watch movies any time we wanted. It was placed outside the regular area so we were allowed to have some beers and get kinda crazy without bothering anyone. My older brother Steve who is also on this forum somewhere, was attacked by a crazy lady while he lived in an A-frame on the farm property…..good times. The Sundown was tore down and is now a defunct mini-mall….it only has a bad Chinese restaurant open, everything else is out of business, what a waste of a drive-in
