Just talked to Nick. He is back and really wants to get going on these theatres and catch up with you. He asked about you and Robin. He should be on soon.He was watching 2001. Which I was watching when he called.It is on TCM tonight. Nick, This was Drive-in I was Telling you about.
The only person I know that could answer this would Nick in Tampa, but I haven’t heard from him since early March. He did the great story on the DALE MARBY and 20th Century Drive-ins in your city.
yeah, it really is a nice location about 13 miles off 1-20,but about 40 miles from my house.Took the kids a few times. I wrote a feature article on the DRive-ins in Augusta for a free news weekly here.I am sure you have those kinds of papers in Nashville.they tend to go after the younger crowd of readers. The Big-mo was included by another writer.
I have been inside and long time ago the theatre floor was leveled off for businesses that used that space. SO inside it really looks like a hardware store could be there. I never got to the booth,but i think some of the equipment might still be there.
April 26 1951 ,really going back,and i know it drives some of you NUTS,but THE BIG-MO is playing “NANCY GOES TO RIO” Since reopening in the late 90’s on opening night 429 cars crammed the lot.In a 200 car drive-in.
Hey, I told you there were of Ton Tampa theatres on CT.
WELCOME BACK, Mr.DiMaggio.
My 1956 Almamac has a PIONEER DRIVE-In there parking 350 cars.
Could this Drive-in have been called the VEGAS DRIVE-in. Drive-in in that town in the 50’s,that parked 350 cars,just wonderning.
Never saw a lot of Hills in Flordia,but the HILL DRIVE-in parked 250 cars and was owned by Nat Williams in 1956.
Yes,Chuck, In 1956 it parked 300 cars and was owned by C.W. Schroeder.
The Crescent Drive-in parked 400 cars and in the late fifties it was owned by O.M. Kirkeby.
You know Nick, I bet Charlie might be able to put some story to this odd entry.

If it is on CT make a comment on it then maybe i can find it on recent comments.
All it says when i look for it is NO RESULTS. Maybe i got an old computer,OR i don’t know how to use the dang thing.
It is not listed under Newest Theatres? That is what i am checking.
Great.Simply,Great.

The BLACK RIVER Drive-in was parking 600 cars at one time and was owned in 1956 by Sylvan Leff.
I can get any facts you want on just have to ask Sean when i see him.
My son Sean worked at EVANS STADIUM 14.It was 12 screens when it opened and became Stadium seating when Regal opened a 20 plex about 8 miles away.
You know really none of those girls worked with me,so they can not really tell anything. Not even Cathy.

Is it on Cinema treasures? I looked under Georgia Theatres and never found it.
I have been inside and long time ago the theatre floor was leveled off for businesses that used that space. SO inside it really looks like a hardware store could be there. I never got to the booth,but i think some of the equipment might still be there.
I drive by there quite a bit and have tried until I am blue in face to get these folks to look into Cinema Treasures and answer questions.
THat is okay,my dad says only ROgers' that have a “D” in the name are DEMOCRATS.He is from East Tenn.
In keeping with the tradition of family films, “DOUG’S FIRST MOVIE” plays at the BIG-Mo. Once the kids fall asleep mom and dad can watch “ENTRAPMENT”.
