My future wife and I went to the 54 Drive In many times in high school and college. The only problem was that the B-52 bombers from McConnel AFB coming back from missions flew over the theater and drowned out the sound for as long as 30 minutes at a time.

I lived behind it as a kid on Gilbert Street. Used to watch movies from my bedroom window, and went there more than a few times with my family. It was closed and torn down sometime in the early 1970s to make room for the East Side National Bank building and the Hilton hotel.
