Opened on 3/8/1967 on the west screen with “The war wagon” and “The ghost and Mr Chicken” and on the east screen with “Devil’s angels” and “Dr Goldfoot & the girl bombs”.

Actually, it appears that both screens, although heavily damaged, are still standing.

Approx. address for this drive-in was 2001 North Bolton Avenue. The entrance, the side exit, the projection booths, the concession & 1 of the screens are still there after all these years!

Another photo from the ShowTown Drive In. This is/was the snack bar/projection booth from what I could tell.. My understanding is that a Church organization has bought the land and the drive in was to be razed..
