Lost Memory, it was called Casey Drive-In. The last owners were Robert & Betty Johnson. Who also owned the Lyric Theater @ Casey. My sister worked at the drive-in when she was in high school. I use to hang out with one of the owners sons when I attended the drive-in. I spent some time in the projection booth. The concession building is the only building still standing. The screen & ticket booth have been gone for several years. I have many great memories at that drive-in.
