Before Its Grand-Reopening As A Triplex; It Was Revealed First On April 8th, 1973 Before Reopening To The Public On September 21st.

On November 27th, 1983 At Around Midnight; A Burglary Occurred At The River Road Drive-In. Unfortunately, It Contains A Couple Of Damage Including A Broken East Side Window Of The Concession. Martin Theatres Ended Up Closing The River Road In Early 1984, And Was Put Up As A… GARAGE SALE?!

I Can’t Find A Lot Of Information About The Loew’s Westerville.
All I Can Remember Is An Article From February 5th, 1972, Another One From 1981 And That Is It.

Facts About The Coralville Drive-In:

On October 21st, 1966, 13 Out Of The 300 Speakers Were Damaged In A Single Day.

In 1978, It Was Owned And Operated By The Highway Theater Co. And During The Same Year, The Theater Itself Won A Suit Against The City Itself.

But In My Opinion About The Suit Against The City Though, The Theater Turned Out To Be A Major Changeover 2 Years Later. And They Did As Of September 23rd, 1980; And The Theater However Did Not Reopen The Next Year. The Theater Ended Up Shutting The Gates After The 1980 Season.

50sSNIPES commented about Bel-Mar Drive-In on Mar 21, 2020 at 1:13 am

The Bel-Mar (Simply Called Belmir) Drive-In Opened Its Gates On April 18th, 1953 With “Two Tickets To Broadway” And “Prince Or Pirates” (Both Technicolor). Children That Were Under 12 Are Free At The Time. However, Throughout The Years, The Belmir Is Mainly A Sponsor Of Many Softball Games At The Time. At The Time It Was Owned And Operated By Roger Nelson, Who Is Also The Manager.

I Can’t Find A Lot Of Information About It.. But All I Can Remember Is In 1967, A Report From The Boone County Sheriff Saying That Too Many Cars Have Wrecked And Towed At Process, And I Don’t Know When This Location Closed.

For The Information I Can Find, This Snipe Was Dated At Least 1957. I Found Chandler & Co’s Information From 1960 Said That It Served For 69 Years. So This Is Definitely From 1957.
