Frisina Amusement Theatre Circuit would operate both the Times Theatre and the 67 Drive-In in Jacksonville for a period of time. The 67 Drive-In was started by Howard Busey, Edward Bonacord, and Elmore Suter in 1949. Beginning in 1950, their biggest crowds were for the Easter Sunrise service with 2,000 people jamming the 400-car lot. I believe the theatre did a 30-year lease and would later be demolished.
