This one had a long driveway (think Fairyland in KCMO). It is much further south than the old highway. Look for remains/skeleton. You can tell it was a twin!🤩🤩🤩
Screen 1 was called Bulldog, and screen 2 was called Rebel. Opened on 5/8/1965 on screen 1 with “Girls on the beach” and “G.I. blues” on screen 2 with “I’ll take Sweden” and “All in a night’s work”.
This opened on August 5th, 1965. Its grand opening ad can be seen in the photo section.
Actually, I believe the Sinclair gas station was on the NE side of the Westhaven/Hwy 80 intersection and the Super Slide was on the NW corner. The plastics company and buildings on the south side of the intersection have been there a long time. Showtown was further east on 80 toward Creshale’s.

Yes. Traces of the drive in are still there at Westhaven and Highway 80.
Was this at West Haven and Hwy 80? Still traces of a drive-in there.
