My wife and I would go to the Starlite when our son was just a baby. The Starlite was the last drive-in in the Peoria area and if we couldn’t get a babysitter we could take our son and he would fall asleep by the time the movie would start.

This burned down around 1990 during winter. A man broke into the concession stand and started a fire to keep warm.

I believe this venue opened around 1950. Around 1990, a fire destroyed most of the concession building. The rest of the property bulldozed a few years later.
