Have any early pictures of it Coleen?

My father was Raymond Lewis. His brother Maurice Eugene Lewis and Harry Riddle were partners in the construction and running of the Sciota Breeze. My father and mother and I lived at the back of the property in a trailer. The concession stand’s rooftop was used for Grand Ole Opry stars Daddy would book to perform. Harry Riddle owned wood mill that supplied the lumber to build the first tower. Vivid memories of precious time in our lives.

A new projection booth/concession stand would have to be built along with installing new electrical services. Otherwise, some landscaping is needed along with screen maintenance if someone wanted to reopen it.

this one could easily be reopened with some work!

The address for this theater is next to the church at 10073 US-23, Lucasville, OH 45648. The address above is incorrect. Screens and ramps are still visible.

Please update.

Somewhere between 2011 and 2013 the Concession Stand/Projection Booth was demolished, but as of a June 2018 Street View both screens and the marquee are still standing.

Is there a breeze(or wind) that blows accross the Scioto River?

TomMc11 on May 27, 2018 at 12:43 am

Because it was just east of the Scioto River. Scioto is an Iroquois Indian word meaning “Deer.”

My father was Raymond Lewis, along with his brother Maurice Eugene Lewis, and Harry Riddle were the original owners and builders of the Scioto Breeze Drive-in Theater. We lived in a double decker mobile home at the rear of the property. I have fond memories of the concession stand and it’s roof where several Grand Ole Opry stars would give live performances during intermission.

I drove but this today. They have torn down the snack bar and admission buildings. Not sure what’s going to happen to it.
