The Sheridan Drive-In was built by the Cohen family, who still operate the Transit Drive-In. The Sheridan Drive-In opened on July 7, 1951 with Joel McCrea in “South of St. Louis” and had a capacity for 700-cars.
In 1957 it was moved 1,000ft to Ensminger Drive, due to repositioning of Interstate 190. A second screen opened on May 21, 1970 enabling an expansion to 850-cars. It was closed in 1981.
