I know what you mean about the SCV historical site.It's great but it has nothing to about some very important things in this valley.Such as Thatcher Glass Co., Bermite Powder co., Mustang Theater, and the Corral theater.Below is a little something that I found on that site from a member.
The Corral Drive-in was located in Seco Cyn. about where the Grace Baptist Church stands today. My family will never forget the first time we went to the drive-in after we moved to Saugus in 1964. The drive-in was quite old by then and the screen was leaning or somehow mounted on the mountain slope on the far end of the drive-in. There was a fairly large concession stand. Saugus didn't have many stores and no real entertainment venues back then and having a drive-in was quite a treat to those of us who moved up from the S.F. Valley. The drive-in was owned and operated by a family who lived in the Santa Clarita Valley. I can't remember their last name, but the Hart alumni from the 50's and early '60's still speak about the family with fondness and respect.
