Opened in 1949, this drive-in rested on a parcel of land surrounded by a wall of towering willow trees, not too far from the Memorial Bridge and Springfield.
The back of its screen faced Memorial Avenue and its entrance was on a side st with more willow trees arching the entrance drive up to the cashier booth. A very clean and well-kept place. It closed in 1976 and was demolished a few years later for a shopping plaza. It was one of two drive-ins in West Springfield, the other being Riverdale Drive-In.
