 Overview
 Description
Huge single-screen venue, with a capacity for up to 1000 cars. The monolithic deco screen tower was an impressive sight. The screen was large enough that you could climb up inside of it. The property also had a playground and concessions building. In all the property had four buildings, not including the ticket booths and screen.

     History
    Constructed in 1948, (though most sites say it opened in 1953. Not sure why this is) it was one the area's oldest surviving drive- in's before it closed in 2000. It was even visited by author Don Sanders during his tour for the book The American Drive-In Theatre. Part of the screen burned several years back when a storm short-circuited a floodlight and set the huge screen on fire. The property sat neglected and for sale for six years, before the city bought it and demolished it in 2006.

     Future Plans
    It's gone. Property will most likely become just another ugly shopping center.
