Glendale, Arizona comment

Michael's update to two Drive-Ins located in Arizona

I live near where the aerial photos of the Thunderbird Drive-In and Glendale 9 Drive-In were taken. Have lived in Glendale, Arizona since 1963, and went to almost every DI you listed when I was a youngster. Other Phoenix Drive-Ins were "Cinema Park" on 7th street and Missouri Ave. The huge 1200 car "Northern Drive-In" at I-17 and Northern Ave (Now a big K-Mart) YECH !



Your site is great!!! Please keep up the good work!
