Photo 45-BRO-20

Comments

Fiesta Drive Inn. Owned by Don Payne I think. I saw Easy Rider there. Who would have thought I would do on to meet and become friends with Dennis Hopper?

Close. Owned and operated by Ed Payne.

Hey, Joe, what were those colored lights near to or behind the concession stand? I believe they were yellow, blue and green, and on a pole if I recall.

This is but a ghost from the past as all that remains is the projection house today...

How many people can you fit in the truck of a car

1843 River Road. Close to the location of the screen was a medical helicopter site for a couple years in the 2010s. Otherwise, the site has been used recently for parking stockpiled Kenworth trucks...but little else.

Our parents would bring us to the Fiesta with some pop and a grocery bag of popcorn. I always remember playing on the playground equipment in front of the screen waiting on the movie to begin. Usually it was a horror double feature reasonable for older kids as long as we were asleep by the second feature.
