The Broadview Drie-In opened in 1954.

The Broadview drive in was built in the 1950’s. We owned the drive in in the neighboring town and we purchased all the speakers and some of the other equipment when it closed. We bought that equipment in 1988. It was a nice drive in and had a big snack bar with knotty pine panneling. The screen and buildings stood well into the 80’s but were demolished by the early 90’s.

Good idea.

It has nothing to do with my interpretation. On driveins.com it reads “1980 – closed”. There is also a Website Visitor Comment that reads “It closed about 1980”. I don’t believe they are saying that it opened in 1980. Maybe your source made a mistake. If you believe that driveins.com is wrong, leave them a message and see what their reply is.

I guess it depends on your interpretation. Timelines generally start at the beginning and go to the end. If it says Timeline – 1980-closed, I am assuming that’s a chronological progression. I could be wrong, but it’s hard to tell.

I don’t know what your source was for this drive-in, but the info in your description above is exactly the same as on driveins.com. The only difference is, they have it listed as closed in 1980.

No, it opened in 1980 and closed at some point later on. I know that not many drive-ins opened in the 70s and 80s, but that’s what the source says.

Don’t you mean that this drive-in closed in 1980?
