Route 66 Drive-In

I didn’t see that many old theaters on the road. I recall the West and Lux close to each other in New Mexico, and a couple in Oklahoma. I think many of the old places are either demolished or now unrecognizable.

I didn’t see this one on my Route 66 tour last year. We followed the old road faithfully all the way from Los Angeles to St. Louis, but then had to take the freeway to Chicago due to time problems. I will finish Missouri and Illinois someday.

The original Route 66 Drive-In was a single screen located at about 3500 South Sixth Street. This was and is Route 66. The Knight Family gave new life to the Route 66 name after it took over the Green Meadows. A couple memories about the original Route 66: One, they had flea markets there on Saturday mornings, and two, every Easter Sunday, it hosted an interdenominational sunrise church service.
