This theatre was built by my grandfather, Frederick Dobe. He also owned the Dobe Tree Farm, which is now the Arbor Vista subdivision.
As a kid growing up, this is the Drive-In that we frequented most and it was sad to have it close. I remember bringing brown paper bags of homemade buttery popcorn there and coolers filled with Kool-Aid – aaahhhh, “the good ole days”. One of my favorite movies viewed there: “Dirty Larry, Crazy Mary”.
