Skrdla, Harry: - Photographs culled from dozens of sources, including the Grand Rapids Public Library, Goodrich Theaters, Bacon Memorial Library, Portage Library, Celebration Cinemas, Community Theatres, Lakeshore Museum Center, American Classic Images, and many others serve to recall the history of Michigan drive-ins. From the tiniest local theater to the mammoth metropolitan, multiscreen giants, author Harry Skrdla uses these images to remind readers what it was like to go to the drive-in. Skrdla is senior engineer at the historic Fox Theatre in Detroit, an architectural preservation consultant, and author of Ghostly Ruins: America s Forgotten Architecture.
