1965 - the Dixie Drive-In Theatre at 14601 S. Dixie Highway (US 1), Miami

14601 S. Dixie Highway (US 1), Dade County, Florida


The view is looking west from the back of the drive-in parking area. These images should be popular with the kids from the SW section of Dade County. They make one wonder how many youngsters fell in love, not to mention lust, at this fine establishment and ended up getting married?

I worked there in 1965. My very first job. Reta Nichols, Bob Pike, others I can't remember their names. The manager was an old guy named Geoge [he had an apartment under the screen] and the drive-in was owned by the same people who owned Tropicaire. It still is one of my favorite places [though long gone] - we were 16. The first Beatles movie came to the drive-in that year, Hard Days Night...and, yes, there were girls screaming all over the place!

I posted a comment on another drive in picture...do you think that when archaeologists in the future come across an area that has areas that are slightly bumpy for rows, may have a few poles sticking out of the ground and one end with a giant white wall, will they think it was a religious ceremonial site?

My sister's boyfriend drove a mosquitoe truck and used to back the truck up to our house and go full blast. We didn't even think of HazMat in those days. We'd ride our bikes into the smoke behind those trucks. I also remember the constant military spray planes running course leg after course leg spraying bug Killer. I wonder though if the gas had any lasting effects on me!

I remember seeing the 'Fantastic Voyage' and '1001 Dalmatians' here in around 1966 with my buddy Jerry Cleveland, his dad and their family. I'll never forget that feeling of traveling through a fifty foot high body and experiencing the great wonders of the Human Body from the inside. Boom Bomp, Boom Bump, hold tight; here comes the Aorta valve!
That or feeling like you were just a dark black tick on a giant Dalmatian fire house dog! That’s the way it was in Miami in those days. Thank God for the Mosquito trucks. You could not sit outside many hot Miami nights without them. The sand fleas from the mangrove swamps and the Mosquitoes from God knows where, would at times not allow us to attend the Dixie Drive-in Theatre. Tim Wright
