Some additional information: the drive in actually opened in September 1968. At the time, it was called the New Starlite Drive In and was a replacement for the former Starlite Drive In on 8th Street. In February 1974 the New Starlite was sold and the new owners renovated the property and it reopened in March as the Southwinds.
