This theatre, was actually ran by the McNeely family not the McNoughtin family. It was ran by my father Alan McNeely, and his two friends. The snack stand and gardens were kept up by my grand parents. My father was the owner and manager. Around 1972sh they turned to X rated films because at that time VCRs were starting to come into more and more homes and people were less interested in going to drive in movies. X rated films were the only way my dad and his two friends figured they could keep their theatre open and up and running. Sadly around 1982sh/3sh even those films didn’t last and they eventually had to close. My father also was the owner of the Waterford drive in theatre in the 70s and 80s and the Norwich drove in theatre. They ran u see a name called the shoreline theatre. I grew up hearing the stores of these theaters from my dad, considereding this was before I was born. :) hope you enjoy.
