http://www.driveinmovie.com/TX/Sandell/
First lit back in '55, in the midst of America's Drive-in boom,
this solo screen was named after the original owner's two
daughters, Sandra & Adele .. and their namesake screen remained
lit, with the light flickering for 29 consecutive seasons,
before going dark in 1984. Darkness however, exists only in the
absence of light .. and after a series of 'coincidences'
beckoned a new owner for the Sandell (a tall and lean Texan not
inclined to believe in accidents or place his faith and stock in
mere coincidence), despite having been dark and neglected for 18
years, a resurrection of the Sandell was undertaken. By Summer's
end of Season 2002, the Sandell was finally re-lit, coming back
with a double feature, pairing: Joshua and Signs for the
LaborDay Weekend. Movie audio for up to 300 cars is
provided with FM (88.3) radio. The revived Sandell will be
open on Weekends only (Fri/Sat/Sun), year-round, and almost
always with a double feature for the one admission price of
$4.50 for ages 12&up; $3.50 kids & Seniors (no charge for young
children who are seated in car seats).
