The Cecil aka Coffee County Drive-In was located north of Enterprise on Highway 84 so it wasn’t that one, also the M&O was on Damascus Rd in Enterprise so that’s a negative for both of those names.

MichaelKilgore the opening date of this drive-in is confusing, The Washington Missourian reported it opened on August 22nd 1952 with “Mask of the Avenger” plus a Stooges short and an unnamed cartoon. Then the St. Clair Chronicle advertised shows in early September and advertised the “Grand Opening” on September 10th 1952 with “The Second Woman” plus cartoons and shorts.

So it looks like it had a “Soft opening” on August 22nd with the grand opening on that September 10th date.

The house is on the same spot where the concession building was so it might’ve been renovated into a residence.
