Tekamah Drive-In

“Arnold Nordstrom, owner of the Nordstrom Motor Co., has opened a new 300-car drive-in”, wrote the Oct. 1, 1949 issue of BoxOffice. It had a ‘soft’ opened on August 11, 1949 with Allan Curtis in “The Daltons Ride Again”. The grand opening was on August 14, 1949 with Jean Parker in “Rolling Home”.

The 1950 & 1951 Film Daily Year Books included “Drive-In” under Tekamah. The 1952 Theatre Catalog listed the Tekamah Drive-In, owner Arnold Nordstrom, as Under Construction.

The Tekamah Drive-In was not listed in the 1955-56 Theatre Catalog.

Nothing remains of the drive-in today.

Tekamah means “large cottonwood tree” in the Omaha language.

Opened on 11th of August 1949 with “Dalton’s Ride Again” and shorts “Jolly Jingles” and “Gullible Canary”. The Grand Opening was on the 14th with “Rolling Home” and “Screwdriver” which I think was a Woody Woodpecker cartoon.
