Correction: Now Clear Water Headquarters NEXT to the garage.

The correct address for this one is 2025 SW Merlo Ct, Beaverton, OR 97006. Not SW Merlo Rd.

Please update.

Boxoffice, Jan. 21, 1974: Tom Moyer “announced that plans are under way to build a four-screen drive-in at Beaverton, Ore. Opening is scheduled tentatively for midsummer 1974.”

Checking the aerial photos, this site was vacant in 1970, a four-screen drive-in in 1981, 1990, & 1994, and some kind of bus or truck parking lot, screens still intact, in 2000.

I saw a double feature at this drive in, on the opening night of “A View to a Kill”, which would have made it 24 May 1985, according to IMDB. It was followed by “Red Dawn”. Four of us drove over from college, crammed in a teeny car. Watching back to back movies from the back seat of a small car is very uncomfortable.

Ah.. thanks for putting this up! It’s now the Merlo Garage, where many Tri-Met buses park. The Max from Gresham to Hillsboro has a stop right next to it.
