The Skyway 1950 by Sophie Cloutier Dydzak http://windsorthenwindsornow.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/so-whats-playing-at-the-drive-in-the-skyway-1950/#comment-178 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 01:43:06 +0000 http://windsorthenwindsornow.wordpress.com/?p=425#comment-178 OMG! That little girl! Judy Dydzak. It’s my great ant! My father, Joseph, also had a drive-in theatre. You’re right, you could say it’s a family affair. My dad would always tell how he loved going to the drive-in to help out his father. He use to spend his nights there, playing the movies. He remembers both kids films that they played there. It’s great to hear those stories.
Fun fact of our family : my great grandfather, my grandfather, aswell as my father are all three names Joseph John Dydzak. My father is Joseph John the 3rd.

If there’s anything you want to know, just ask away! :)

So many times I heard of this story & that’s why my mom today still is uncomfortable with me jumping in the saddle of my bike. She then once again reminds me of her cousin Archie.

Thanks for your photos.

I love old buildings so much that I´m even on an undertaking to rebuild some of them in São Paulo.

Do you find it too insane?

Anyway, here it is
