The 53 was not far from The Twin in Wheeling. Been here many times as well in the 1980’s sigh.

Good old Twin Drive-in. Chris B did you live in Wheeling?

I grew up in Wheeling IL. Been to this drive-in countless times! I remember my parents taking all us kids to see Orca in 1977. Then later in my teens going with my boyfriend. in 1980 I remember seeing FOXES, Heavy Metal, Jaws 2 and 3, and I’m sure Cheech and Chong. Then in my 20’s drank beer, and sneaked in (a few times) by putting my friends in the trunk, and saw great films like Polyester, Cat People, and a film I HATED I Spit on Your Grave. and of course, the Flea Market was a blast.
