The official website is asking for help to save the drive-in. That can’t be good news. There is a USA Today article on this site that talks about the expiration of the theater lease in 2008:

It looks like the Waterloo was used for live theater during the Depression by the WPA:

Here is a 2002 article. I don’t know that the new drive-in ever actually opened.

I remember those Roman columns out front. Large and grey. The other theater (Capitol?) was practically next door.

I don’t remember the hippie place. The burlesque place that I referred to on 9/3/05 was actually on the ground floor of the Morton.

If a makeover includes bulldozing the theater, I would agree with them. What is going to be left?

kencmcintyre commented about Tower Theatre on Sep 2, 2008 at 1:33 pm

What’s going on with this place? I drove by the other day, and there was no sign of life. Does anybody have an update?

kencmcintyre commented about Mann Westwood 4 on Sep 1, 2008 at 3:24 pm

I saw the mid 80s version of Godzilla at this theater. I remember the scenes were Raymond Burr was spliced in, pretty much just standing there talking like Basil Exposition in the Austin Powers films. The audience had a good time.

Here is a 1923 architect’s sketch of the Subway Terminal building. It looks like they photoshopped the theater out of the drawing:
