Winfred Garner launched the Midway Drive-In between Bloomfield and Dexter in southeast Missouri. It was equipped with both 3D capability and CinemaScope readiness at launch. The planned opening on March 26, 1954 was rained out and rescheduled on April 1, 1954 with Gene Kelly in “The Devil Makes Three”.
The Midway sometimes was hyphenated as Mid-Way and operated for four seasons. It closed permanently October 25, 1957 with a double feature of “High Society” starring Bing Crosby & “The Badge of Marshal Brennan” starring Jim Davis. The ozoner has since been demolished.

A closer address is 15375 Old Bloomfield Rd, Dexter, MO.
This puts it next to where the projection booth/concession stand once stood. A large part of the drive-in now sits under MO-25 since two more lanes were added at some point between 1962 and 1979.
There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
