jwmovies commented about Twin 50 Drive-In on Mar 8, 2019 at 6:00 am

The address above is incorrect. That address is further north. The address for this theater is 727 Heisinger Rd, Jefferson City, MO 65109. This points directly to not only the drive in itself but the concession stand foundation that is still there. Some ramps are are also still visible.

The ramps are visible for most part at screen 1. Screen 2 and the entrance are now a satellite parking lot for UPS truck.

Please update.

Let’s settle this. The actual address for this theater is now 1460 E Clinton Ave, Seymour, MO 65746. Now MFA Oil Company per Google Maps. This points directly to the entrance road. FYI Owen Dr. did not exist when this drive in was open.

Please update.

jwmovies commented about Jackson Drive-In on Mar 5, 2019 at 3:15 am

The above address is incorrect. The Mobil gas station at that address is across the street.

The address for this theater is 1003 N High St, Jackson, MO 63755. This is the Jackson city swimming pool as listed in the description. The pool and the ballpark next to it made up the drive in property.

Please update.

jwmovies commented about All Star Drive-In on Mar 2, 2019 at 1:51 am

A more accurate location for this theater is State Hwy M and Hwy 25, Freeborn Township, MO 63837. This is east of Holcomb. The drive in itself was located SW of this intersection. Now an empty field, there is almost no trace BUT in the middle of the field lies the screen foundation and part of the entrance/exit road is at Highway 25.

Please update.

jwmovies commented about 270 Drive-In on Mar 2, 2019 at 12:26 am

A more accurate address for this theater is 3003 Dunn Rd, Florissant, MO 63033. This points to West Florissant Avenue and Dunn Road. W. Florissant (which didn’t exist north of Dunn when this drive in was open) is where the entrance road was located. The above address is incorrect and points to the Dunn Center west of the theater’s location.

Please update.

An even more accurate address for this theater is 2060 Old Hwy 163, Oskaloosa, IA 52577. This points directly to the entrance road which was next to what is now Pella Citcle. The address above is where the theater stood but the drive in had a very long driveway.

Please update.

jwmovies commented about Gordon Twin Drive-In on Mar 1, 2019 at 2:47 am

The above address is incorrect. The entrance was further SE of this location and almost all of the theater was south of this.

A more accurate address for this theater is 4040 War Eagle Dr, Sioux City, IA 51109. The entrance road is now Fareway supermarket. The parking lot behind this and the empty field west of that were the 2 drive in theaters. The freeway only took out a sliver of the drive in. I suspect declining business was what doomed this enterprise.

Please update.

jwmovies commented about Duck Creek Plaza Twin on Mar 1, 2019 at 2:30 am

I bet this opened as a GCC theater. The letter style is distinct and all their theaters had just Cinemas either above the box office or on the side of the building. The setup above looks exactly like the old Sunvalley Mall II in Concord CA. Concessions and all. It wouldn’t surprise me if each side of the concession stand had restrooms (most theaters back in the day had 1 set GCC almost always had 2)
