About 28th Street Drive-in
We regret to report that this colorful and popular Drive-in which opened-up in 1950 and which had also been so nicely maintained in its later years, has now seen its last season; 50yrs seems to have been the limit .. for both of St. Pete's remaining Drive-ins .. continued thinning of the Ozoner layer (FTR: the lights went out over St. Pete on Friday, June 30th 2K). The Drive-in was not the owner of the land it resided on, and at the expiration of its most-recent lease arrangement, the landowners let it go to a high-bidder (we heard $1,520,000); the Pinellas County School Board, which actually hasn't any immediate plans for the property, but determined that it'd be better to have the nearly 15 acres and not need it, than to need it at some point down the road and not have it ..we'll file that one under: "your Tax Dollars at work!"
