In October 1948 newly formed Tri-City Drive-In Corp. broke ground on a 70-acre site for a 1000-car drive-in theater costing $100,000 at 5th Avenue and Cline in Hammond (but near Gary). It was tentatively named Starlight.

It does appear that the outline of part of the back fence and ramp remain from the drive-in.
