About Solano Drive-In
Caulfield Family Private Collection, Fairfield, CA 

What can I say about the Solano Drive-In without spilling lots of secrets. Of course any story I might tell would only be trumped by the millions of other "drive-in" tales all my classmates would have whether it be about hiding kids in trunks of cars on Buck Night or fogging up windows during the previews. Once inside the entrance of the Solano Drive-In you could see the playground with a slide, a merry-go-round, and a set of swings. And in the snack-shack refreshment building there were little signs in the shapes of stars hanging over the counter advertising candy, hot dogs, hot chocolate, and beef tamales all for sale. Today the good old Solano Drive-In is long gone. The gigantic movie screen was blown over and destroyed on Dec. 14, 1988 by a windstorm with gusts of wind clocked at 67 mph. Today the location of the Drive-In now hosts a Raley's Supermarket and other shops.
