The above real estate listing shows that the listed price for this former drive-in has been reduced to $1.6 million.
@lexmarks567: The two remaining NA indoor multiplexes they were still operating in Michigan were sold to Rave Motion Pictures. A former NA cinema they were leasing in Courtland Center in Burton was reopened by Owosso-based NCG Cinemas. The former Showcase Cinemas East is also listed for sale and the former Cinema 10 which they leased in Flint Township is boarded up.
The drive-in is being torn down. See the new photo.
The ticket booths are now gone and the debris from demolition have been removed. The speaker poles, screen towers, asphalt field and signs remain.
“Why was it called Miracle Drive-in?” It might take a miracle to save and reopen this dtive-in!!
the sign is in really really bad shape!
