So what are you doing this weekend? Mick most likely is entertaining friends at his Flamingo Drive-In, the amazing backyard theater that he created behind his 1943 cabin. Ain’t got no plasma, ain’t got no hot tub — just good old-fashioned lawn chairs, a projector and click on through to see a little classic Hollywood glamour, too…

Hey Pam!
I was wondering, what are your feelings on 1950’s fountain side tables? Any idea where or who come up with the idea?
I’ve also attached a picture of the Home Theater I’ve built in back of my 1943 Cabin…
So of course, I ask Mick to send more. He tells us:
The back yard strays from traditional 1940’s and is a summer tribute to the 1950’s.
I LOVE the vintage lawn chairs and have 26 vintage pieces, the oldest being from 1929, and one chair legended to have come from the 1931 Worlds Fair in France! If you’d like more picture of the Drive-In let me know!
Thanks!
Mick
Wow, Mick, that it really something. I am really impressed. Regarding your question about fountain tables. I am not sure what that refers to. Like, those things that hung onto car doors at the drive-in, maybe? In all the excitement about your backyard drive-in, I forgot to ask you clarify… Thanks for sharing these great photos!

This is so cool! I’m very fond of the lawn chairs and the table/cart (I have 2 and had to resist hard not to buy another yesterday for $5!) Your neighbors must love you!

What fun! Love those trolls. Do you have popcorn and theatre candy? That would make it perfect.
Maria Stahl says
Love it!!
Re. fountain tables – does he maybe mean those tables that were in more than one level, coming down in steps, sort of? Goodwill is always full of them.
