Can somebody help me remember a drive in theater out by east greenback, but I’m not sure exactly where? It was a single screen drive in and I helped the owner keep it open when he needed help in the mid 1990s. I don’t see it listed anywhere. It was pretty run down. The marquee was kind of half lit. I cannot even remember the owner’s name. I always turned down the money he offered for help. I did what i could for him. I moved away in 2004.
