I didn't make it down to the lowater bridge this weekend...but I did need to kill some time in the Schertz/Cibolo area today. Found some interesting "artifacts" while I was driving around. The Starlight Theatre is in Schertz on Highway 78. This community was voted one of the top 40 places to live in the US and is the top ranked city in Texas. It lies between our little town of New Braunfels and San Antonio. I know there are old drive-ins everywhere but this one seemed to stand out. I'm amazed that no one has "liberated" the sign itself. It's in surprisingly good condition and it has a great sense of style. I love old advertising art and this is a great example. I'd love to know something about the history of the place - other than the "submarine races" that were waged in the back rows. There are a lot of interesting things to see...if you just take the time to look.

What an awesome little sign that is.  I hope someone makes sure it sticks around.
