1965 - the Dixie Drive-In Theatre at 14601 S. Dixie Highway (US 1), Miami
14601 S. Dixie Highway (US 1), Dade County, Florida
This aerial view is looking north. 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?
Wrong. The Colonial Palms was off SW 136th St and US 1. Across the street was Zayre's. Later on in the late 70's the Falls was on the west side of US 1 and SW 136th.

I still go here at least once a week, unfortunately it is now a Publix. I think about the Theatre every time I drive by the empty grass strip on the south side of the picture, it is still the same today.

That's the old Colonial Palms "Executive" par 60 golf course in the upper right hand corner on the east side of US1 (across from the present-day Falls shopping center). It was illuminated at night for night play. Next to it, on US 1, was Goony Golf, a putt-putt course. It's all now a shopping center and an adjacent housing development.
