The Miles North High Drive-in was waaay out in the country back in 50’s and 60’s, where US23 still had the grass median, and there was NOTHING nearby but corn and farms. Get there before dark, and play on the playground at the base of the screen. Back the family wagon in the slot, drop the tailgate and enjoy a cartoon, then TWO whole full length films. Remember “Let’s go out to the lobby” jingle? Even in the summer, it chilled enough later in evening you had to grab a blanket. They added a 2nd screen in 70’s. [towards the end-in late 70’s-I used to circle the theater at night in club Cessna 172, and catch a peek at the porn for free!]
another rememberence of the Linden Theater: they served Frozen Custard, in addition to the standard fare of hot dogs, pop, candy and popcorn. You could watch a whole afternoons worth of movies (Hopalong, Roy,and Gene) and cartoons, plus fill your belly with all sorts of sugar laden goodies, for LESS THAN $1 !!
yes…I concur. faulty recall here.
Funny…I recall in the late ‘60’s entering from the other side (south side). My recall faulty?
