The Hilltop Drive-In was opened prior to 1955. It was not fancy, but did serve its purpose of presenting movie entertainment under the stars in a clean, comfortable setting.
The Hilltop Drive-In had a 300 car capacity, and was operated by (RKO subsidiary) Video Independent Theatres. Bartlesville was the first American city to have cable television subscription service. RKO Cable quickly absorbed this profitable enterprise.
It will be appreciated if you will share any informaion you may have.

Approx. address for this drive-in was 4125 Nowata Road. Now the city’s newspaper Examiner-Enterprise’s office. Behind the office, part of the outline though barely visible is still there.
