The Blanding Drive-In became a cherished gathering place, where families, friends, and film enthusiasts created lasting memories. (Rewritten by AI).

Went to the Blanding many times as a youngster. Many fond memories. Even in the mid 70’s they were playing films like “The Blob” as second feature. I also remember alot of “Hot Car” pictures playing as they were very popular, “Gone in 60 seconds”, “Vanishing Point” “Dirty Mary , Crazy Larry”.
