My family and I loved this drive-in and I miss it so much!… I was told by employees there that it was closing because a hardware store “Hechingers” moved next door with their bright lights shining on the movie screen interfering with the viewing of their movies and there was a legal battle going on as to which place was responsible for putting up a fence between the two businesses in which I had believed that “Hechingers” should have been held liable since the drive-in was there first. I also heard that the drive-in was having some problems with patrons who were bringing drugs in on the property and using them. What a terrible shame that wonderful place like this had to go!

You can see the marquee for the drive-in on the left and the screen behind the Shell sign.
Yep the Movie Was The Easy Riders which implies this picture came from either the 50’s or Early 60’s.
