Boxoffice, Sept. 22, 1969: “ALBANY - The postponement of the opening of Fabian’s new Latham Drive-In on Route 9, Albany-Saratoga Road was apparently caused by a shortage of labor and building materials. The contractor has encountered difficulty in finding a sufficient number of carpenters and electricians, lumber for the projection booth did not arrive as scheduled and a shortage of electrical power is alleged to have hampered progress. Construction engineer for the 850-car Fabian ozoner is Fred Haas. Industry men express differing opinions about the situation. Some feel the drive-in can premiere this fall but others indicate the debut will have to be deferred until spring. Bill With, former Palace manager, supervises area Fabian drive-ins from an office at the Mohawk, Albany-Schenectady Road.”
Opened with “The Reivers” and “me, Natalie”.
The Latham opened on April 15, 1970. I just uploaded the Grand Opening ad from the Troy Times Herald.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 942 New Loudon Road.
From NY Drive-Ins
Does anybody remember the Saratoga Drive-in which once existed across the street from the Latham back in the 50s?
