My entire “Thrush” family were in the Drive-In business! I LOVED It! We built and owned them beginning in Ohio, Pa., Ky., N.J., Md., Del., Va., N.C., S.C., Ga., Fla., Ala., Miss., Tenn., Ark., La., and I’m sure I missed a few states. My eldest Uncle William (Will) Thrush sold all of his, when Televisions became the rage, moved to Hollywood and produced movies and retired to Las Vegas. The rest of the Thrush brothers (Bobby & Paul) went into the electronics (Radio/TV) industry. I grew up an electronics “GEEK” and still enjoy the old tube type stuff. But I’ve really come to love the unusual & secretive Digital Communications Industry! These new guys think they know it all, but are far from (being in the know)!
I’m seriously considering building a drive-in since I still own all the equipment and movies!
