I worked in the concession stand from the summer of '74 (Chinatown and Godfather II) until it closed in 1976. The flea markets on Sundays and Wednesdays were incredibly busy and working 18 hours a day was alot of fun for an 18 year old. I took the final inventory and put this great drive-in to rest. see Westbury Drive-In for more..
