Skyway Drive-in Theater

Fish Creek, Wisconsin

The Door County peninsula extends northeast from the city of Green Bay, WI, up into Lake Michigan. It's a vacation resort area, along with a fair amount of farmland in the middle of the strip of land. The Skyway is an old but beautifully maintained theater near the top of the peninsula. There was another theater just a few miles away up until a couple years ago, but all I found at the right location was a large vacation house development under construction. As at Manestique, the flatness of the land and the nearly surrounding large body of water made for a particular kind of light and sky that I'm not used to seeing in the hills of western Connecticut.

Once again there is some playground equipment, some of it dating back fifty years or more, some of it plastic stuff that must have been installed recently. Here's a link to a GoogleMap showing the theater (not where entering the address initially takes you, btw). To get a sense of how surrounded by water this is, look at this zoomed out view.
