  • <p>I found this beautiful sign photo at Mike Walgenbach’s <a href="https://duarterock.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/the-big-sky-drive-in-theater-1981/">Duarte blog</a>.</p> <p>I’m not sure whether he took the picture, but of course, I do not have any claim on the copyright. I have uploaded it here for the scholarly Fair Use of showing what the Big Sky’s sign looked like.</p>
