The drive-in was still intact in a 1980 aerial photo. It was in Wyoming, on the highway to Forest Lake, at 5680 259th St Wyoming, MN 55092. By 1991, it had been replaced by housing, and no trace of it remains today.
In an article yesterday in the Forest Lake Times, there was an offhand mention of the Hub. “When Bob and Jayne (Drummond) expanded their business network in 1959 to open the Hub Drive-In Theatre in Wyoming, there were more employment opportunities for the Drummond girls.”
OTOH, Norhart’s Forest Lake History page said that it was 1958 when “Mr. and Mrs. Bob Drummond and Everette Struble opened the Hub Drive-In Theater.”
Writing in 2004 about a bowling alley sign, Mark Nicklawske wrote in Press, “The Hub drive-in theater, between Forest Lake and Wyoming, had a huge sign, but that was more of a billboard-type thing.”
Was this a short lived drive in? 1952 and 1954 Historic Aerials show nothing there, as well as the 1991 one. No hint of a drive in at all. Then in 2003 there is suddenly a building there with a parking lot that has a drive-in shape.
