What’s a bit of mystery concerning the “Sky Harbor” sign in the exact style and shade of blue, and looks to be the same age as the existing “Sky Drive-In Theater” sign. The Sky Harbor sign has been mounted in front of a real estate company on Jaurez Lane just south of Hwy. 62 as you head into the Sky Harbor residential area. There is a link between these two signs which could be simply that the Sky Harbor sign was designed by the same sign company at the request of the original developer of Sky Harbor which I believe was in the late 70’s. Or, was there once another drive-in on the site of Sky Harbor?

It sounds like your area isn’t big enough to support ten screens. Didn’t you have an old Main Street theater?

In the summer of 2009 I didn’t have this list. I searched around and didn’t find anything that looked like it might be a theater, but I found something else of interest. In the middle of the intersection, as often done in small Kansas towns, there was a community bulletin board with a hand-drawn poster advertising “Movie tonight behind Bob’s Barber Shop.” Behind Bob’s was a building with a white wall which is where the movie was projected. The movie was free and you could purchase concessions. An old-timer told me these summer open-air screenings had been going on for a long time. He said at one time farmers would come into town and the few stores would stay open till midnight.
