Starlight Twin Drive-In

A couple of facts about this:

1) The Montgomery Ward built at the old site was part of a larger shopping center called “Akron Square.” It barely outlived the Starlite; it was empty by the late 80s and demolished in the early 90s. There was an indoor theater there which is on this site (Akron Square Cinema 6).

2) The address of Starlight Drive came later for its second location; the roads in front of the theater were heavily altered when 224 was turned into an expressway. It probably had an Emmitt Road or Waterloo Rd/US-224 address throughout the 60s and into the 70s.
