Why the name West O?
Opened on 25/5/1951 with a color cartoon carnival(6 cartoons, not named) and “ Last of the buccanders”.
The Lincoln Journal Star ran an article today talking about the history of the city’s drive-ins, focusing mainly on the West O and its drawbacks. The author complained about frequent noise from the nearby Burlington Railroad hump yard as well as its position near the flight path for Lincoln Airport. He said that the West O’s final night was June 23, 1985.
Now MHC Kenworth-Lincoln truck sales.
The address for this Drive-in is 201 SW 27th St, Lincoln, NE 68522.
Please update.
