The E. M. Loew’s Bangor-Brewer Drive-In opened on July 4th, 1950 with “Ali Baba” and “Phantom of the Opera”. Grand opening ad posted.

If you look at the picture of the screen, you will notice there is a marquee in the front, too bad you can’t see it. At the top of the marquee is an arrow pointing toward the entrance. It said in neon “Drive In Entrance”. This has been restored and hangs in the Nicky’s Cruise-In Diner on Union Street in neighboring Bangor.

A Walmart was built next to the site, and there have been several attempts to repurpose the site, but as recently as 2014 the area has been used as storage or material site. Currently there is no activity on the site

@ Mike when I visited the site for the Findley Drive-In Findley, Ohio there was speaker posts with the concrete bases laying in the fence row under the trees.

I was out a couple weeks of ago surveying the old drive-in to find out that there are but, some remains left. The old possible footings for the screen are still on site and the old electrical wiring is still standing maybe what powered the lights and concession stand.

Too bad no one has any pictures of the old drive-in.

I thought that was a strange name.

Notice my mistake, It’s the “Brewer Drive In” not “Drive Through”.
