In photos of drive-in theaters, we usually see photos of the screen. But in this shot from Life magazine in 1949, we see what drive-ins looked like from the point of view of the screen! This is the Gilmore Drive-In, which opened in 1948 on W. 3rd Street near the Farmers Market and what is now the Grove, and lasted until the mid 1970s.
Would that be Gilmore stadium behind the cars?
