Sacramentans Take Note…

by Melissa Hawkins

This July will see the closing of the Sacramento Six Drive-in movie theatre. The drive-in movies is a legacy in it’s own right, and it is unfortunate to see this era of entertainment come to an end. If you have children who have never been to a drive in movie, take advantage of these final weeks of June and get out to the Sacramento Six!

Many of us have great memories of the Sacramento Six drive-in movies, and it is somewhat sad to know that the screens will soon go dark. What is in the works will be a new strip mall and new indoor movie theatres. As nice as this sounds, it seems to be a repeat of the same types of stores and the same type of expensive movie theatres that we have all over and around town. I really hope that a lot of people make an effort to get out to the drive-in to say good bye to the movies screens, the 70s-ish snack bar, and ultimately the end of an era.

About Sacramento, CA

When Sacramento was founded in 1849, I don't think anyone bothered to notice that it means "Holy Sacrament" in Spanish. After all, it wasn't a very apt name for a lively, growing mining town where gambling and saloons where the status quo. Perhaps to gain a modicum of respect, they paid California $1 million in 1854 in order to become the State Capitol. In the years since, it has evolved from a little mining town into a bustling city full of people from every culture and every walk of life. In addition, our status as the most ethically diverse city in America also means that we have something for everyone to do. There are numerous ethnic restaurants, tons of museums, and countess festivals in historic Old Sacramento that make the city an excellent place to visit and an even better place to live...
