I can’t believe I missed the location clue of the name Cascade, this drive-in was located on the right side of the Cascades Golf Course. The closest address is 3550 N Kinser Pike, Bloomington, IN 47404. The drive-in was there until at least 1969. Its now been redeveloped into 2 baseball fields.
Looks like it was closed by 1970.
Boxoffice, April 27, 1970: “R. H. Tricker, manager of the downtown Princess Theatre as well as the drive-in being constructed to replace the old Cascades Drive-In, has started a contest to name the new airer.”
The Bloomington Drive-In opened its gates on May 28, 1948, and was renamed the Cascade Drive-In the following year. It was first operated by Roy O'Keefe of Vincennes. It was closed after the 1969 season.
This reopened as the Cascades Drive-In on March 28th, 1953.
Actual closing date is November 2, 1969 with “Spirits Of The Dead” and “Die Monster Die”.
