Update: I was raised in the Thumb area of Michigan where the Blue Sky Drive-In was located. If I recall correctly, the Blue Sky featured X-rated movies in later years. I believe one popular feature in the early '70s was "Fritz the Cat", the adult cartoon. I was too young to go see those movies but I was told that well-endowed women were often on hand to wash your windshield TOPLESS for a small price. Even as a kid I got a kick out of the fact that the drive-in was a thorn in the side of many of my ultra-conservative neighbors. (Damien 11/9/04)

Update: The Blue Sky drive-in, located near Gotts Corner between Kinde and Caseville, showed family movies for some time (even my grandparents went there in the 50's), but by the 70's it operated for a time as a XXX drive-in. Quite a shock for a rural community. I heard some of the farmers with property nearby didn't mind. The theater stopped operating by the late 70's/early 80's, and it was torn down in the late 80's/early 90's. I coached track in Kinde for a time, and we would often drive past the theater's old location. You could still see some of the old entrance signs and speaker poles until the late 90's - my students could not believe that at one time there was a theater way out there in the middle of nowhere!
