THURSDAY DAILY

THE 61 DRIVE-IN THEATRE JUST SOUTH OF MAQUOKETA,  FOR MORE PRE-SHOW
FUN, NOW HAS A SOFTBALL DIAMOND.    HOME PLATE AND THE BASES STILL
COMING.

AND A NEW BASKETBALL COURT TOO.    BOTH THE SOFT BALL DIAMOND AND
ABOVE BASKETBALL COURT BY CASEL CONSTRCTION IN MAQUOKETA.   I'M SURE
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF  "H_O_R_S_E" MATCHES NIGHTLY BEFORE THE MOVIE
STARTS.    THAT'S NANCY  SHOOTING A BASKET....SHE MISSED.       ALSO A THIRD
TEATHERBALL HAS BEEN ADDED.    AND THIS IS ALL IN ADDITION TO THE
BIG SWINGSET, SANDBOX, VOLLEYBALL NET AND THE RUBBER-TIRED FOUR-CAR 61
TRAIN.    NO CHARGE TO USE THE PLAY GROUND ATTRACTIONS AND A TRAIN RIDE.
HOPEFULLY THE DRIVE-IN WILL OPEN BY MID-MAY, ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AS ALWAYS.
REMEMBER, AT THE 61, WE HAVE GRASS INSTEAD OF GRAVEL FOR WATCHING
THE MOVIE OUTSIDE YOUR CAR AND LISTENING TO THE FM SOUND ON YOUR CAR
......OR PORTABLE RADIO YOU BRING ALONG, OR RENT IN OUR CONCESSION STAND.
THE 61 STARTED 70 YEARS AGO AND THE SOUND FOR THE FIRST 15 YEARS, CAME FROM A SPEAKER THAT YOU HUNG ON THE CAR WINDOW.

THE SPEAKERS ARE LONG GONE AT THE 61 DRIVE-IN THEATRE.

1878 AD ABOVE.    NO MAQUOKETA THEATRE THEN.  NO DRIVE-IN THEATRE.

 

MOST KMAQ AREA RESTAURANTS ARE STILL GOING WITH CARRY-OUT OR DRIVE-UP SERVICE IN THE WEEK AHEAD, EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD START SERVING INSIDE.

                        HAPPY MAY DAY
