Wow, thank you so much for uploading all these photos of the Wheeling Twin Drive-In!! I have fond memories as a 12 year old selling at the flea market here on Sundays with my mom, dad, grandmother, and 2 uncles around 1983-1984. Pretty much the era these flea market photos were taken. I used to buy baseball cards from a collectibles dealer with a trailer towards the entrance that sold there for years. I bought some of my first Atari 2600 video games brand new from a dealer there and I had my first real candy dipped apple here, too. I’ll never forget the Vanguard arcade game they had in the Concession Stand. It used to play the music all the time. I can hear it in my head as I write this. We used to drive from the NW side (Brickyard Mall) at like 5am to wait in line early for the better spots to sell junk my parents found in the alleys and rummage sales to make a little extra money. My family sold at so many other drive-in Chicago area flea markets in the 1970s-1980s. Thanks again. Brings back such good memories! Joe
