thanks for the picture.
My pictures are from the year 2000. Do you guys know if there is anything left of this theater today?
Boxoffice magazine December 29, 1951 issue mentions John Lee built the Park-in and operated it as part of the Columbia Basin Theatre Corporation.
I was just able to visit this Drive-In yesterday. The screen, the lot and the outer fence is all still there. The snack bar / projection building looks to have collapsed. Photos from my 7-21-2012 visit can be seen here. One here http://westernwadriveintheatres.weebly.com/ more here http://westernwadriveintheatres.weebly.com/park-in.html This website is new and still in development so if you navigate around it and find some blanks please excuse me.
I worked at both the Lee Theater and Parkview Drive In summer of 67. The drive in was classic.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 19091 Lakeview Dr NW, Lakeview, Washington 98851.
I’ve been trying to find out the of the last movie shown at this theatre. Thanks if you can help.
richardnecochea…the best way is to go to the local library and start going through the copies of the local newspaper and look at the movie ads.
I saw the original Halloween movie (with Jamie Lee Curtis) at this theater in 1978. I believe it closed not too long after that. The screen and marquee are still standing.
Are the speaker posts still there?
