There are a number of interesting things in this photo. Of course on top is the remains of the old Drive-in theater behind Cecil’s. At the lower part is Shelley’s Drug in it’s original location before Sahara Tahoe was built.”

Thanks David too bad the Tahoe Drive-In is not still around today!
As a youngster in the late 50s, we lived a half mile from the drive-in, my Mother used to shop at Cecils market and you could see the drive-in from there, we saw a few films there, and at that time the original Stateline theatre was located between highway 50 and the beach just a few blocks away! later in life, I managed the new Stateline cinema and the newer drive-in in Bijou as well as the Lakeside theatre at the Y and the new Tahoe Y cinema across the street for Bob Retzer..
I need to correct the previous comment, Im getting old… the original Lakeside was between hwy 50 and the beach.
