Marty's Sky-Vu Drive-In in Jamestown, North Dakota

by John Margolies

Take a stroll down memory lane and revisit the era of great American road trips through this impressive 1987 photograph of Marty's Sky-Vu Drive-In located in Jamestown, North Dakota. Taken by the famous architectural critic and photographer, John Margolies, this artwork is one of the best pieces in the famous Roadside America collection preserved at the Library of Congress. Margolies was known for his distinctive technique of photographing landmarks using morning sunlight, blue skies and empty compositions without any modern elements such as parked cars. This particular print presents the beautiful marquee and architecture of a typical 1950s drive-in movie theatre.
