PLEASE CHANGE NAME TO:
NEW 50 DRIVE-IN
AKA FOX 50 DRIVE-IN
CHANGE ADDRESS TO
11000 WEST 87th STREET
W. 87th Street and I35 puts it down on the Map South on W 87th TERRACE? Overland Parkway/Switzer Bypass/69 goes over part of the former Drive-In. The Drive-In was in Lenexa. That small area East of I35 and North of 87th Street is NOT part of Overland Park even though those business use an Overland Park adress.
Open ~1950-~1980? Can anyone verify the exact dates?
I know it was called the New 50 in 1967.
Owners:
1969 Fox Intermountain
1975-1980 Mann Theaters Corporation of California
? National General Theaters
More info and photos are always welcome.
At one time I worked in the district office for Mann out of Wichita, Kansas. However this theatre would have been in the adjacent district. I do not recall Mann operating a drive-in in the Kansas City area, although I could be mistaken. On the dates listed above, if Fox Intermountain and Mann operated this drive in, then NGC would have operated it in the dates in between. I am curious if anyone else has any information about this property.
It should be listed as the Fox 50 Drive-In with an aka of New 50 Drive-In .
drive-ins.com has a aerial of the Fox 50 Drive-In.
