Comments on: Things I Should Throw Out: Phoenix Gazette, 1951 http://derrickbostrom.com/bostrom/2006/01/09/things-i-should-throw-out-part-one/ Trash, Treasure, Oddities, Obsessions and Obligations Fri, 05 Sep 2008 06:59:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Drive-In fan http://derrickbostrom.com/bostrom/2006/01/09/things-i-should-throw-out-part-one/#comment-46 Drive-In fan Tue, 14 Mar 2006 04:27:25 +0000 http://derrickbostrom.com/bostrom/archives/8#comment-46 Ah well... Tempe, Phoenix. At least the drive-in site has something cool to help fill out the Indian's entry. I've found a few abandoned (sob, sniffle) drive-ins in my travels, and always try to take pictures for that site. My "local" drive-in was the Algiers. Great playground with a minature train and (full-size) fire engine rides for the kiddies (which I was at the time) before the features started. I remember going there in my pajamas, and praying Mom wouldn't bring food so we could go to the snack bar instead. (A treat!) I now take my family to a drive-in at least two or three times a year. (Limited because it requires an overnight stay... 120 miles away, but the best in the state) We take our 1958 Edsel, which seems to add something to the event. Anyhoo, I'm glad you didn't mind my passing along the ads to drive-ins.com, and thanks for an interesting blog! Ah well… Tempe, Phoenix.

The Gazette was, however, a Phoenix newspaper. I just happened to find it in Tempe. When I was a child, the Round-Up in Scottsdale was the drive-in we visited most often. My final drive-in experience was probably a dozen years ago. I accompanied a friend and her son to a showing of "Mission Impossible" and "Strip Tease." Cool site!

(See here: http://www.drive-ins.com/theater/aztindi) I just thought it'd be cool to add these ads to breathe a little life into the listing for it. Sad to see so few drive-ins left, but hurrah for you scanning those ads. Priceless! I hope you don’t mind, but I passed along the Indian Drive-In ads to the http://www.drive-ins.com site.

Look at that exuberant tattered umbrella sticking out of MacArthur's back! Sure Stalin may look like some giant atomic mutant Juan Valdez out of a Howard Hawks production playing at the Indian Drive-In, but the simple gestural Kremlin and all of that loose tonal shading is awesome. If I ever go back to the future I've got to remember to wear my cowboy duds, beat the houswives without number to Reidell's Beauty Salon Reducing Department for some body slenderizing, and make it to the box office in time to snag one of those $1.10 tickets to see the Spike Jones Musical Depreciation Revue of 1951.
