Sands Drive-In T-Shirt (Heavyweight)

The Sands Drive-In in Mesa, Arizona, opened on May 13, 1955, at 2305 East Main Street, then out in the desert east of town, with room for 400 cars. It lasted about two months before a desert whirlwind flattened the screen tower. It reopened that fall with a new all-metal screen 46 feet by 96.

The new one held. The Sands ended as a triple feature house at $1.25 a carload and closed in January 1972. Its name survives on the apartments built there.
