Hi my family use to own the driven back in the early 60. We had a 3 way partner ship it was Frank Budjanec , Tom Budjanec and Paul affiltranger . My dad tom Budjanec was running the ambridge theater .owned by warrior brothers. I remember my brother and I loved to go out their on the weekends we use to love to go on the songs until the movie started .and I love to smell the popcorn in the stand . The driven was really out in the country and had a hard time getting people out there . Some time .my dad and I later built the ambridge theater .after the big theater got torn down .and dad took the neion letters from the blue sky driven market to make the ambridge theater sign . I really miss that driven . I remember always fixing all the speakers All the time . people wood take them. Good old times

Yes I remember this place well as a kid. I was surprised to find this and another site posting info about it ! I lived in the neighborhood across Walton Blvd on Genes Dr “walking distance” I remember seeing “Jaws” in 75 when it premiered that summer. Every time I see Jaws I think of Blue Sky Drive In. good ol memories !.

Drove by today and looks like they are demolishing the Showcase Cinemas building built on this site when they tore down the Blue Sky Drive In.

I went here all the time as a kid. I love seeing these old pictures! The sign on Opdyke was truly magical as a kid. It closed after the summer of my graduation and me and friends used to take my dad''s truck and sit in the back and watch the movies. I don''t remember the last movie I saw there as I never realized it would close. They seemed to do good business. The new Showcase that took it''s place sure didn''t last long. Maybe 10 years or so. I take my family to the Ford-Wyoming now. It''s a bit of a drive, but worth the experience!

I remember driving way out to the Blue Sky. Before the movie they had local bands playing. Toad and the Mushrooms is one that comes to mind. Does anyone else remember this?
