It’s also a great place to watch anything required “sensa-round” sound with the theater setting next to a mainline railroad that’s quite busy. The passing trains would give it that extra vibration to experience earthquakes. I guess it would work with imperial star cruisers.
There was another Colonial Drive in theater. This was a newer version of the original at Old Hickory Blvd. This was where they moved when they closed that Colonial Drive In at Old Hickory Blvd..The reopened it farther out in the suburbs of Hendersonville TN. It reopened as a twin theater on Center point road as the Colonial Twin Drive In. It thrived until it was floods by the creek that bordered the property and never really recovered. The marquee and crumpled screen is the only remaining evidence of theater there to this day. Before the Army Corp of Engineers dredged the creek and deepened the creek channel there use to be some really fun fishing in the creek there. It had carp,gar, catfish and bass.
I remember going to the Inglewood every Saturday on my bicycle. I was there when the Paris Peace Accords ending the United States involvement in Vietnam were signed in January 1973 because the theater manager stopped the movie for a moment of silence. I’ll never forget that day because of that. My brother was a theater manager for the company that owned the Inglewood so unless it was an “R” rating or special run I always got in free. I miss neighborhood theaters.
