CUBA, MO — If you’re in the market for one, the 19 Drive-In is for sale. With its future in doubt, this is the time to save this treasure.

Hopefully,it can be saved.seems like Drive-ins are making a small comeback.Thanks Michael for the story.

I guess the story about the drive in back on July 1 here on this website prompted Aimee Levitt of the Riverfront Times to contact me for further info about thee drive in. At that time, the real estate indicated there may be a potential buyer, but we will see….
