Still listed in 1980 with the same operator.
It would appear this should be “Closed/Demolished”. Haveing scrolled up and down Orange Street in Google Earth, I can find no trace of it’s exsistence on current maps, or any historical imagery going back to 2004. Apparently it’s become a residential development now.
I wouldn’t be surprised. I usually list the drive-ins as closed unless we get some evidence to the contrary.
From what I gather, the location is wrong. Here is a current view of where it was (Hwy 22 and Houser, near the High School)

And what it looked like in 2000

All the house’s and buisness at the corner of cedar and houser street right in front of the Muscatine High School is where it was located
