The Delta Drive-In opened July 20, 1949, I believe. The drive-in parking ramp could hold 450 cars. It was operated by Miss G. Twitty and Andy Dietz. Andy Dietz was a buying and booking agent for Co-Operative Theatres. He was also in the partnership operating the Home of the Stars Drive-In, in Sikeston and Parkview Drive-In Theatres in Jackson, MO.

It was operated by Malco Theatres,Inc 1975-1986 also.
Unfortunately the Delta Drive-in no longer stands it is now a trailer court the only part of the original Drive-in that stands is the ticket booth and the concession stand…with random speaker poles scattered about the property like tombstones from an ancient time
The speaker poles were removed in 1989 and the screen was removed within the next 2 years. Concession stand burnt down in 2009 after being turned into an apartment. I am the son of the owner of the property and they did save some of the 70s posters from the drive in.
There’s a 1975 photo of the Delta at VintageAerial.com.
