The 23rd Street Drive-In was open as early as 1950, and was still open in the mid 70's when I last drove by it. I believe it was part of the Martin chain at the time. I never went inside, but it looked large and impressive from the outside. It is now closed, but I don't know what's on the property.

My dad, James A. Duncan, managed this theatre from the time it was built, I believe, until 1959. At one time it had cartoon character cutouts adorning the exterior of the fence facing 23rd St. He often did promotions by emceeing from the roof of the concession stand. My father died in 2001 and my mother recently died. As I can find photos, I will forward.

In 1975 the car capacity was 435.
