The River Lane Outdoor Theatre opened in 1948 in Loves Park, near Rockford, IL. The River Lane Outdoor Theatre had a large screen tower and a neon-lit marquee over its ticket booths. This drive-in operated until 1984 and was demolished three years later.

Thanks again Mike,if you ever lose that book you will be in trouble.
I was telling someone the other day,PatricaNC,I think. that I have seen on Cinema Treasures that you can buy a Almanac.Heck,I think I gave one to Nick,See if he will sell you his,Knowing Nick, He might give it to you.
I think you can look them up on the internet I am going to try today to see what I can find.Now back to the River Lane Outdoor Theatre.
I wish my Almanac had walk-in Theatres too,but I only have Drive-ins I would love to have movie theatres more so than the Drive-ins,I wonder if every other year they went back and forth?
I found an ad (May be the grand opening ad) from July 12th, 1948 and an aerial of the River Lane outdoor.
