A tornado took down the screen in 1965, but Kmart took down the theater in 1969.
1965 aerial photo uploaded. This drive-in is not to be confused with the Cedar Rapids Twin Drive-in which opened on June 13th, 1969 at 6300 SW Hwy 18

The address you gave is for the Twixt Town drive in. It’s on the other side of town across from Kmart east.
This drive in sat where the Kmart west building stands
Correction: The address for this drive in should be approximately 2925 Williams Pkwy, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404.
Please update.
And now the Kmart is closed.
Site is now a pizza restaurant(Zio Johno’s), and a beauty school(Capri College).
The Cedar Rapids Drive-In closed on October 21, 1968 with Lucille Ball in “Yours, Mine, and Ours” and Burt Lancaster in “The Scalphunters”, due to the construction of the nearby Cedar Rapids Twin Drive-In which opened the following year.
