Pleasant Hill Drive-In

Opened September 1, 1950 with Dan Dailey in “A Ticket to Tomahawk”, the Pleasant Hill Drive-In, might have had a name change after the late-1950’s. Anyway I have parking at 750 cars and owned by Robert P. MacLary. It was closed on January 1, 1984.

I have, in my notes, a date of 1985 for the closing of Pleasant Hill Drive In. I didn’t note where I got that date. Can anyone confirm?
