This drive-in was my families business for all the years growing up. I would go there in my PJs to visit my dad. We did not only go-karts but pony rides, and anything else to get the crowds in. It was exactly what one would envision a 1950s/60s drive-in movie should be.
My family, Kohlberg Theaters, were the ones that sold the theater to Value. We ALWAYS did big business, why do you think we enlarged it to two screens. We did open one year with King Kong. My dad had an employee dressed in a forills suit to greet the customers! Boy, them were the days:)
The Lawrencewood Theaters were owned and run by my family a.k.a. Kohlberg Theaters. We also owned and ran The Morton Grove Theater. I managed it for many years and we ran mostly family films. We had a very strong “Disney” following.
