The Dort Drive-In was owned by William Oliksen, who subsequently owned the Dort Mall, built on the site of the former drive-in. A few years after the mall was built, the Dort Mall Cinema was built on the west side of the mall and operated by General Cinema Corporation. By 1976 the elderly Mr. Oliksen came and toured the property every day, although it had clearly seen better days and was largely vacant. I suspect his tours were more theraputic than actual inspection of the property.
