Still open in the mid-1980s, as 1983, 1985 and 1986 aerial views show the drive-in with its screen and glory and appearing to be in good shape and condition. It was already closed in the 1998 aerial view as most traces were faded and the concession building appears to be turned into something else, with a small parking lot as an addition. The screen remained standing at the time until sometime in the early-2000s. I don’t know if its gone, fell into disrepair in the trees, or turned into foundations.
I was trying to find more information, but CT is currently having massive breakdowns with Error 500s and Application Errors. Its been doing just that for more than two weeks now.
This was first operated by Sparks Theatres Inc. led by president E.J. Sparks. Originally housing 800 sponge-foam seats and RCA sound installations, the Colony Theatre opened its doors on February 29, 1940 with Wallace Beery in “The Man From Dakota” (unknown if extras added).
General Cinema operated the Northwest until it was purchased by Kerasotes on March 17, 1988, causing a one-day closure before reopening the following day.
A 1978 aerial view shows the entire theater with its screen and glory but was already gone by 1984 when 29th Street Road was expanded.

Half of the traces appeared to be swept by something in the 1961 aerial view. I don’t know if its severe weather related.
