This was the second of two drive-ins owned and operated by Mid America Theatres in St. Charles County. This twin could accomadate 800 cars. Located right off Interstate 70 you could see the large marquee and the back of the large screen facing the interstate. It had the big I-70 insignia on the back of the screen. Like most other Mid American Thetres it closed when they went out of business in the 80's.

First real date with my husband was at the I 70 Drive-in which was a double date with my sister and her friend! That was over 36 years ago....happy to say that I still have both...hubby and sister. :)
This drive-in pulled in a variety of patrons....those who didn't want to travel to the city to see a movie and those who wanted to get out of the city.

Ceased operation in September, 1984; an RKO Mid-America operation at the time.

For the record, the I-70 did not have an interstate symbol on the back of one of the screens. It was actually on top of the marquee. The Dodge dealership that was built in its place has changed from Zeiser Dodge to Mid Rivers Dodge. Still miss that place after all this time...

Oops...Chuck did it again. :)

JAlex, does this mean the Holiday Drive-In in Overland and the I-70 closed at the same time. These were the two major drive-ins in the Mid-America chain (in fact, M-A's headquarters were at the Holiday Drive-In), so it would make sense if they both closed together. Any ideas?

No, the Holiday held on for another year. The I-70 closed 9/16/1984; the Holiday on 9/1/1985.
