The Memory Lane Drive is now PERMANENTLY CLOSED. The owner has given numerous reasons why the driver in will not open for 2024 and instead be closed permanently. One was attendance, that is funny because you would have thought after buying land on a former another drive-in that sat empty for 32 years before he bought it that sits next to a closed 3 screen cinema might be a sign of, uh this might be a bad idea. Instead he opened Memory Lane, awful name in 2021. He added a second screen in 2023, although he said the drve-in had low attendance. And now closed a year later. The things people will do for tax a write off.
