50sSNIPES commented about Tidemark Theatre on Mar 1, 2026 at 9:05 pm

Opened on January 2, 1947. According to some user whose grandfather was the first owner of the Van-Isle, he believes that it opened with Dennis Morgan in “The Time, The Place and The Girl”, but that remains unconfirmed at this time.

It was closed as a movie theater in 1985 after being purchased by Campbell River who reopened the Van-Isle as the Tidemark Theatre in October 1987.

50sSNIPES commented about Bayou Drive-In on Mar 1, 2026 at 5:36 pm

The Bayou Drive-In opened during the late-1950s, as a 1955 aerial view shows a house on its site. It operated for around a decade but I cannot confirm its closing date. The traces were gone during the early-1980s but the screen was still standing into the late-1980s.
