“After becoming ownership with SBC, the early 1970’s are the most harsh years for the Mountain View Drive-In. The reason why is because of many “Help Wanted” ads scrambling all over Burlington’s Free Press pages. The Mountain View committed a possible robbery on March 2, 1972 after the Winooski Police Department reported on an empty cash register.”

Please don’t let AI write nonsense. The early 1970s were not harsh years for the drive-in. I managed it one summer and supervised it after that. Help wanted ads? I might have used them once or twice, but the only thing that is scrambled is the writing in that quote. And a business reports a possible robbery, it has no legs or hands to create one.

I remember the drive-in well.

Georgia Theatre may have taken over the theatre, but it opened as a Cobb Theatre back in the 1980s. I remember driving Bobby Cobb back to Birmingham from an inspection tour of the unfinished site. Rod Curlett was in charge of design and construction.

That is correct. The twin closed when the Mall was built and opened. I was there.
