Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Tri-City Drive-In on Apr 28, 2011 at 3:24 pm

Was owned by the Thomas Theater Co. of Iron Mountain Mich., Martin D. Thomas, President, they had 7 theaters in Michigan and Wisconsin. My guess is that it is todays Thomas Theatre Group which I think is out of Quinnesec and has the Tri-City Cinema 8 right next to the site of the old Tri-City Drive-In and the Willow Creek Cinema 8 in Escanaba, Michigan.

PLEASE CHANGE ADDRESS TO:

US-2 & BALER ROAD

The address W7678 US-2 on the Map puts it on the East side of Quinnesec. The new address moves it about 2 miles and puts it at the West end of town and you can still see the Drive-In on the Map. Much more helpful.

Opened May 13, 1953.

Had a playground under the screen with swings and teeter totter.

More info and photos always welcome.

Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Eastland Theaters on Apr 25, 2011 at 5:56 pm

Closed in the ~1990’s? Can anyone verify the exact dates?

Owned by Goodrich Quality Theatres.

In June 2008 from inside the bowling alley you could get a good view through some locked glass doors of the inside of the lobby and one of the theaters. There was no longer a wall between the lobby and the theater. It appears as if a fair amount of demolition was done and then stopped, rubble was everywhere. The sloped floor of the theater was still evident but not much else that identifies it for what it was.

More info and photos are always welcome.

IN THE ADRESS PLEASE CHANGE:

I don’t know why, but Road goes to the wrong location, but Avenue to the correct location. This should, I hope, be the last address correction.

When you go to the Map the red dot is 4 miles off. If you want to see the Drive-In on the Map, remove the Route 12 from the address, type in Carr Road and you can see the Drive-In by the 12. If anyone can come up with a way to enter an address or crossroads for the lacation, GOOD LUCK, I sure tried!
