Yes, it's the Sundown Drive-in Theatre in Whittier, California. Come and see the latest movie flick in this single screen wonderland. Enjoy a glimpse of the googie screen tower, complete with the retro script lettering. And just take a moment to appreciate its grandeur.

Yes, the screen even has googie like holes in its support. Alas, the Sundown met its fate with a construction crew in February of 1999 and is now showing first-run movies at the "big drive-in in the sky."

Say goodbye to the Sundown as its laid down to rest for good.
