Circular

Been a long time lurker now first time poster. We have three in my area (central ohio). One is now a junk yard w/ the screen still standing. The second is a quarter of a mile where I work. It has dual screens though much like this place. The last place is still in operation, and proves to still be pretty popular. Last movie I seen there was "Ghost Busters".

That sounds like a really neat job Motts! I'm just no good at any of the web, html type stuff...so i definitely admire people who can! Yet another great set! Two thumbs way up a real Box Office Smash!

There is a drive-thru (I think) still across the river, over in West Quincy in Missouri. I know that it had been closed for some time when the Great Flood of '93 ruined a good portion of the low-lying land over on that side of the river, and I believe now that if the screen is still there, it is being used as a billboard advertising the idea that apparently, "Jesus Lives!"

I saw Sleeping with the enemy on this screen when it first came out. I was probably 8. But wow.

We had an old drive in in my town for years when I was a kid. It was never used, but they had the local flea market and the circus there every year. Then, walmart bought it up and built a Sams and a supercenter.

I drove past this place almost every day, since I live just down the road from it. I was really upset when they turned it into condos. There was a part of me that hoped that someone would get it running again. Thanks for the memories Motts.
