That’s what I was thinking too. Judging by the photo of its unique marquee, it may’ve been a short-lived drive-in.
Speaking of drive-ins Kenmore, I need you along with MichaelKilgore to identify the name of the drive-in theater in Texarkana (TX) that was right next to the Oaklawn Cinema on New Boston Road. I recently spotted it while adding the BrightStar Theaters to the list, and I found it from several topos. I cannot find the name of it anywhere, even CinemaTour does not have the drive-in listed.
The White River Drive-In closed after the 1985 season because of poor business and massive money loss. Commonwealth decided to keep the theater closed in March 1986 despite being sold to James Street in April of that same year, but had no plans on operating.
First operated by Mid-America Theaters, later by RKO in April 1984, and finally AMC in December 1985. It was last known as Village Square 6 and closed on August 10, 2001.
Once operated by Mid-America Theaters, later by RKO in April 1984, and lastly AMC in December 1985. AMC closed the Kirkwood Cinema on June 1, 1989 following lease expiration.
The theater needs to be added in the Mid-America Cinema Corp. previously-operated list.
RKO took over the theater in April 1984 following Mid-America’s purchase but it didn’t last long. AMC took over the theater in December 1985 after the Mid-America chain was sold.

Opened in August 1952, closed in the 1970s.
The 67 Drive-In opened in 1965, so I don’t think so.
