Looks like the address would be about 401 N. 84th Street. The theater has been replaced by a Kohl’s. After looking at Google Earth, the parking lot was built in the shape of the old drive-in property.
Looking at an old photoply sheet on Bing the address given is 403 N. 84th St. but it could have been one of those address that ranged 401-03. Either way the address would be correct.
PLEASE CHANGE ADDRESS TO:
84th STREET & O STREET
MajorMajor & Chuck, you sure make an easy thing hard and it’s off a bit. The name of the Drive-In is the address.
I know it was open in 1967.
Closed ~1985-~1989 approximate? Can someone come up with the exact date?
Anyone have more info or more photos?
Not really. It wasn’t directly on the corner. Look at historic aerials of the place. You’ll see that it was right where the Kohl’s lot is now.
401 & 403 maps it properly to Kohl’s parking lot. The aerials show it about a block from E. O St. So the address in the header is correct. In astuality College Park Dr. sided the former drive-in.
The movie listed on the marquee “Coming To America” was released in 1988 so we know that it was still open in 1988.
MajorMajor & Chuck, don’t confuse me with facts, I still like my idea better, but you win. It is good to point out that the strange name of the Drive-In did come from those two streets.
As a kid I watched movies there a lot with my parents and the last movie we watched there was Karate Kid 3 and that was released in 1989.
