We often went to the Sinking Spring Drive-In to see shows. Our historical group, the Sinking Spring Area Historical Society has memorabilia in our train station museum from the drive-in including marquee letters, a speaker stand and speaker, a piece of the screen, bricks from the buildings, a piece of neon tubing and tickets. I remember going to the Astor Theater on Penn Street in Reading to see One Hundred and One Dalmations when I was 5 years old in 1961.
