The address listed for this theater was 1823 Mission Avenue. The MiraCosta College Community Learning Center (1831 Mission Ave.) is currently at that location next to an Arby’s restaurant. The theater was presumably torn down in the 70s (or late 60s?), and a Big Bear grocery store occupied the space for two or three decades.
Still listed in 1975 with a capacity for 750 cars.
Two years and the address still hasn’t been updated.
I remember when it closed in the mid ‘70’s. We had haunted houses in the concession stand/projector room for a few years until they tore it down in 79.
I believe this theater should be labeled “The Vista Drive-In”
Here is a link to a pic of it: http://www.drive-ins.com/pictures/catvist001.jpg
And it was located on the corner of Thunder Drive and W. Vista Way on the eastern edge of Oceanside, CA.
