We had an old drive in in my town for years when I was a kid. It was never used, but they had the local flea market and the circus there every year. Then, walmart bought it up and built a Sams and a supercenter.

There is a drive-thru (I think) still across the river, over in West Quincy in Missouri. I know that it had been closed for some time when the Great Flood of '93 ruined a good portion of the low-lying land over on that side of the river, and I believe now that if the screen is still there, it is being used as a billboard advertising the idea that apparently, "Jesus Lives!"

Very cool. I happen to live about 10 minutes from that site (it's now gone), and never actually saw it from the front. Excellent shots!

Praise the Lord it was finally shut down!!!... that nest of filth!!!... the movie was the last thing important here... the unmatchable beauty of "The Sound of Music" corrupted by those teen's first painful pleasure moans!!!

by the way... I feel more contemporary about that last film featured here... THE FLINTSTONES is my guess.
