I saw a news story on Japanese tv the other day about makeshift drive-in movie theaters that have started to spring up in China, on account of SARS and the fear of enclosed spaces (many indoor theaters have been closed by government order). The story reminded me of the above photo I took in 1994 (September 11, 1994 to be exact), in Santa Cruz, California. This theater, which I believe is (or was?) Skyline Drive-in on Soquel Drive, was showing Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers on this day. I wonder if this theater is still around, 9 years later?
I dunno if they’re open or not, but they’re still listed in the phone book. Could be that they’re still around… I know in New York (Long Island to be specific) they actually opened up some new places in late 90’s… at full ticket prices of course!
California Skyview Drive-in: 831-475-3405
located at 2260 Soquel Drive (@ Highway 1)
Still open. isn’t the internet great?
