The fire actually happened on January 19, 1948, which caused an estimate $70,000 in damages. Two adjoining shops were also destroyed by the blaze.

50sSNIPES commented about Northland Drive-In on Jul 27, 2025 at 12:12 pm

Opened with Dan Dailey in “Meet Me At The Fair” along with a few shorts and an unknown comedy.

According to its last owner, Fred Nelson, he replied that he closed down the Northland Drive-In on July 6, 1986 for a few good reasons. One reason is crime which involves people stealing items, break-ins, vandalism, and even people stealing letters from the marquee a total of 12 times. Throughout the 1985 season contains nine break-ins in total. And the other reason is the deterioration which its condition got worse by the end of its life.

The September 1966 opening of the Manchester Cinema Theatre also caused the closure of the nearby Manchester Playhouse on Main Street, which had been operating for decades.

I cannot find as much information about this one, but all I know is that Manchester Cinema Theatre in the Manchester Shopping Center first opened its doors as a 250-seat single-screener on September 7, 1966 with Steve McQueen in “Nevada Smith”. It was twinned around February 1984.

I don’t see the theater being once named the Anthony Drive-In. It appears that it has been the Bennington Drive-In throughout its whole life.
