...The mention of 'drive-ins' in your latest newsletter caused me to remember that there were two distinctly different kinds
of drive-ins on the Peninsula 'way back when. The park-n-whatever movie theatres - and the meet, eat and greet kind.
In the 50's, there were three (now all long gone) that I can recall that were popular with the high school set: Monty's
(4309 Virginia Avenue), the B. & M. Drive-in (3716 Kecoughtan Road) and the W&S (across from the old entrance
to Huntington Park). Considered the 'territory of NNHS, HHS and WHS, respectively....

I never knew (or thought to ask) what B. & M. stood for - the owners, one would suppose...I suppose.
Perhaps someone out there knows.

Thanks, Bill!
 

 


In speaking of the B&M Drive-in on Kecoughtan Road I know what the initials stood for.   The owners were Mr. Brown
and Mr. Manning, thus B&M. Just thought I would clear that up for you.

Keep up the good work. You are amazing and also all that contribute to your newsletter. I think I am the only one
from NNHS class of 1952 on board. I sure have enjoyed reading 'bout others, some of whom I well remember.
