A 1950 aerial shows the drive-in at that location. By 1958, a building had replaced the drive-in. Today, the east side of the property is Habitat for Humanity while the west side is the parking lot.
Whatever the flooding issues were, they seemed to have either disappeared or become a manageable issue after the drive-in moved.
The flooding actually occurred during the city’s worst flooding in years, which happened on April 28, 1952.
So, it disappeared then. ;)
