The Hilltop Drive In Theatre was indeed located at Cedar and Housers Streets in Muscatine. I managed it for several years in the 1970’s. Clayton and Ruby Bosten were the owners. Carbon arc projectors and a very large screen. Huge concession stand. It was a great drive in. Too bad it was torn down…Now Blue Grass Iowa has a double screen, 2016…

From what I gather, the location is wrong. Here is a current view of where it was (Hwy 22 and Houser, near the High School)

And what it looked like in 2000
