Anyone remember the storm of July 16, 1980? If I remember correctly it destroyed the screen of the Ecorse Drive In and it had to be rebuilt.
April 22nd,1951 grand opening ad in photo section.
The site is now a small strip mall called Taylor Commons which opened in 1991, according to real estate listings. Most of the strip is now vacant, but a Taco Bell, McDonald’s and Applebee’s are all in the parking lot.
A rendering of the Ecorse Drive-In appeared in the February 17, 1951, issue of Boxoffice. The architect was Ted Rogvoy. The Ecorse was built for Charles Komer’s Community Theatres circuit.
