Nick,It sounds a lot like Regency Mall Cinemas {GCC}.Except our small theatre was Cinema3,not Cinema 2,but they were all pretty much the same size.Thanks for the comment.
I noticed looking at a Youngstown paper in the early seventies they had quite a few DRive-ins.I couldn’t find many of them when i went to SEARCH on CT.Maybe Name changes.
During the Early Sixties it went by the name,New Richy.“JOURNEY” was playing there Oct.2 1959.
70mm Roadshow Engagement “THE BIG FISHERMAN” Bibical movie.this on Oct 2 1959.
Ownership and car capacity matches my 1956 Almanac.
1975 another strange booking.Great ad.Have a Falls Drive-in there in 1956,wonder if it had the name changed.
Three 35mm projectors in the booth,Never heard of that before,Wonder what the reason was for.Anyways it was owned in 1956 by Phil Isley.
Yes,you are right about first and second run.Guess it is still closed.
Sell Concessions and make Change-overs at the same time.WOW.
What a real neat find.Great stories.
It was owned by Badger Outdoor Theatre Company in 1956.
I have being owned by J.Arcardi.In 1956.
Charlotte also had a Thunderbird Drive-in.An ABC THEATRE too. I visted it after it closed very nice.
I have a Winston-Salem Drive-in parking only 150 cars in 1956 and it was owned by J.D.Horn.

This should have been savable.i love the Marquee.must have opened in very late fifties or sixties,Not listed in my 1956 almanac.
