THE MIDSUMMER NIGHTMARE 25 YEARS AGO: FLIGHT 800 IS NOW GOING TO BE DESTROYED FOR GOOD

25 YEARS LATER… THEORIES REMAIN. EMOTIONS REMAIN.. SADNESS REMAINS. But the wreckage of Flight 800 is going to be destroyed for good.

People driving through Fountain Springs during the 1980s and 1990s may recall some old graffiti.. Some scorned lover at the time used the old Hi-Way Drive-in sign along Route 61 to advertise his (or her?) love for Sandy.. To this day we don’t know who painted it.. we don’t know who Sandy was. And we will maybe never know if it was a match secured, or love lost.. Just photos remain now, with all remnants and memories of this once amazing drive-in forever forfeited to history.

This is the tale of the passion pit on route 61.
