This is Gratiot

[ChevyManSS350]

My friend and I have been looking at old abandoned buildings in detroit on the net. So I was thinking of something I always wanted to see. I found this site that had all these old pictures of the Gratiot drive in. On this site there was an overview shot of Masonic and Gratiot from 1957.

There was nothing there. It looked AWESOME. I would love to go back in time to see this.

Here is a Picture of that same corner in 1952. Gratiot goes into one lane. I couldn't even imagine Gratiot as a one lane road.

Anyways I figured I would share this with you guys.

I wish there was still a drive in, but odds are it would be overurn with assholes anyways.

I couldnt agree more. They were tons of fun. Kids these days dont even know what the hell a drive in is. Drive thru is all we know now.....

Great pic's!
Didn't they close down in the mid 80's?
I think I was 16 and my 21 year old "women" neighbor took me there
