DAVENPORT, IA — Randy and Terri Lorenz will be opening “Reel to Reel” this summer. It’s been 20 years since the last drive-in in the Quad Cities closed.
A nostalgic summer pastime will be available in the Quad-Cities this summer.
Randy and Terri Lorenz and their grown son, Arron, found that a trip to the drive-in movies was a trip indeed — to such places as Maquoketa or Grandview, Iowa.
To bring the experience closer to home for Quad-Citians, they plan to open a two-screen drive-in theater at the west edge of Davenport, just off West Locust Street and north of West Lake Park.

Thank you for posting the link to our Quad City Times news story! We are very excited to be opening a drive in theater here in Davenport, Iowa. For more information please visit us at http://www.DavenportDriveIn.com .Thanks!
So according to the youtube video, this drive-in is starting out from scratch. A brand spanking new drive-in. Good Luck with it. I wish we could get them back here in jersey, like we did years ago. The only we have is over 2 hours away.
It would be cool to get more of them back here in the Bay State, also. The only drive-in here in the Bay State is in Mendon, MA, which is way west of us, out in the central part of the state, really.
