Movies - Inside and Outside - 1976

I believe this is from the July 1976 newspaper. I pulled it out for all of you old folks who remember that Fort Wayne used to have multiple movie theaters that weren't located just in two places (i.e. Jefferson Pointe and Pine Valley).

Theaters listed:
Holiday 1 & 2
Georgetown
Village
Rialto (yeah baby!)
Southtown
Northwood
Fort Wayne/Bluffton Road Drive-In
Hillcrest Drive-In
Lincolndale Drive-In
East 30 Drive-In

As my husband commented, the movies playing at the Hillcrest Drive-In were nothing but a bunch of T&A.

I, of course, remember my parents dragging us to stuff like this (in our great ole big green van which had curtains separating the front seats from the back area). When the tits came flying out, usually the curtains were closed and we were expected to be "sleeping".

Uh huh. Right. We were sleeping.

And don't forget to notice the ads for the Moonraker, the Wharf, and Hacienda.

Bring It Back - Please (The List)

Here's my random list - of places and things - that need to be resurrected in the Fort.

Holiday Theater
Re-build it. We will come.


Papa Suzetti's
The family (minus their patriarch R.I.P) is still around. So are some of their employees. Nobody makes that pasta and sauces like these folks.


A&W Root Beer Stand
We all need to pull into one - order a dog and a mug - sit in our cars and watch the 'hops - come and go and come and go and come and go


Municipal Beach Swimming Area
Okay, so maybe it's not good to be swimming in the river - but golly gee - wouldn't it be cool to have a beach again?!


New City Market
Awesome. We could park our bikes here instead of our horses.


The Alt Heidelberg Hotel and Restaurant
Just because it looks like nothing else in the Fort.


The Lyric Theater
Because it looks all majestic and people could sing opera here.


Berghoff Cocktail Lounge
Because it's beautiful. That's what the postcard says. We all must believe what the postcard says.

Wayne Candies
Because sometimes, ya just gotta have a bun.


Burger Chef
Because their kids meal was the original. And it was fun.


The Diner from Murphy's
Because the chairs were fun to sit and twirl on and the waitresses always made you feel damn special.


Dayton Hudson's
And bring back Santa Bear while you're at it.
