I remember going to this place a lot back in the mid to late 1990’s when I just happened to get a rare Friday or Saturday night off. Saw many movies here.

According to the Blue Moon Theatres website this is definately closed.
THIS SHOULD BE LISTED AS CLOSED.
I just checked with Google (no listing) and Loopnet (for sale, pending sale).
Lost: Thanks….again!
I also sent Mike McCarthy an email about this Drive-In and with the hope that the citizens of Roane County will and continue to support their Drive-In. There aren’t many left these days! So if you wish to write him perhaps he’ll forward all of our thoughts and concerns to the Mid-Town owners so they know there are folks out there who do care. Mike’s email address is
I just read the story and viewed the TV video by Mike McCarthy about this Drive-In that could be closed, again. I hope the citizens of Roane County TN can and will support this fading American icon for when they are gone they are gone forever!
Shouldn’t there be a hyphen?
