Opened on 3/8/1967 on the west screen with “The war wagon” and “The ghost and Mr Chicken” and on the east screen with “Devil’s angels” and “Dr Goldfoot & the girl bombs”.
Actually, it appears that both screens, although heavily damaged, are still standing.
This opened on August 3rd, 1967. Grand opening ad in photo section.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 2001 North Bolton Avenue. The entrance, the side exit, the projection booths, the concession & 1 of the screens are still there after all these years!

Another photo from the ShowTown Drive In. This is/was the snack bar/projection booth from what I could tell.. My understanding is that a Church organization has bought the land and the drive in was to be razed..
