This is the website for the Keno Drive-in.
Movie schedule can be found here.
According to this news story, a police chase yesterday with a car driven by two teenage boys ended at the Keno, with a car crashing into one of the buildings on the drive-in’s property.

I went to the Keno recently. A small, but really nice drive-in. The last one in this area. Unfortunately, the movies “The Wicker Man” & “Accepted” stunk.
This is one of the last few drive-ins left in the southeastern Wisconsin/northeastern Illinois area.
The problem is that they sit on land that has risen in value so much, that either the real estate taxes will kill you, or the offers to buy the site are just to tempting.
The Keno has avoided this by quite frankly, sitting on land that was not as desirable as spots north and west. With a number of housing developments being built in the area, within the next couple of years the Keno may not last.
The screen has a huge whole in it. What’s up?

“Located in Kenosha County WI. This drive-in theater is located on the south side of Kenosha, just north of the state line on Hwy 32 at 91st street. Its in operation during the summer months. Wisconsin’s largest solo screen Drive-in, with a capacity for up to 800 cars.
The Keno is also the state’s longest continuously operated Drive-in.
It’s screen was first lit back in 1949, before the boom, at a time when there were only 4 Drive-ins in Wisconsin. Presently, they’re screening double features, seasonally, April through October;
audio provided by FM radio broadcast”.
The Keno drive-in opened on May 18, 1949. It now stands as the oldest drive-in in the state. The theatre usually opens in early May and goes until a week or so after Labor Day. I always have a great time here and the food in the concession stand is awesome.
