MichaelKilgore - as you probably noticed, the Boxoffice report of the drive-in being one mile WEST of town is obviously wrong. It was a mile east of the town.

The projection booth/concession stand was still standing in 2017, but had been removed by 2019. There is now no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Boxoffice, June 13, 1953: “The new 400-car Klock 75 Airport Drive-In has been opened by Glenn Klock. It is on Highway 75, a mile west of town.”

I wonder if this news in the April 25, 1960 issue of Boxoffice led to the sale: “One of the casualties of the recent windstorms was the screen tower of Glen Krock’s drive-in at Neodesha, Kas.”

Klock listed the drive-in in the classifieds in the Jan. 30, 1961 issue of BoxOffice. “For Sale: Neodesha, Kansas drive-in theatre, 375 cars, population 4,000. No reasonable offer refused. Downtown theatre to be dismantled. G. E. Klock.”
