With social distancing affecting our ability to see movies, maybe it’s time to remember Dublin in 1967. The San Ramon Auto Movie, at the Interstate 580/680 intersection, was the place to go for years.
It later grew to have two screens and lasted into the 1980s. What did you see there? Don’t you wish there was a real drive in theater here in town?

My family moved to Dublin in 1970 when I was 7. Did go to the drive in with my parents and older brothers and sisters. So much was built from this picture to that time, I had a hard time recognizing Dublin in that 1967 picture. Did identify Dublin Blvd., Village Parkway, San Ramon Valley Blvd. A Ford dealership went to the north of the drive in, and a Chevrolet dealership to the west. Found Safeway on Amador Valley Blvd. I remember Liberty House, Mervyns, and Lucky’s(Alcosta and SRVB)being built. Thanks for the great memories.
