Here are two photos of the old El Rancho Drive-In Theatre located on Hickey Blvd. in South San Francisco. In 1980, I tore down this drive-in for Home Savings & Loan Association and 92 townhouses were built on the old site. Briarcliffe, as it is now known has taken the place of this Drive-In landmark. Notice the home that is built into the screen. It was a long, narrow, two-story building….I assume the owners lived in it during its heyday. The snack-bar was subterranean so the cars could see over it! The original drive in was graded and built around 1949. Photos and info courtesy Mike Manlick.
