In the summer of 1997, our drive-in theatre was removed and a

New Car Dealership has been built.

 

Iowa had 7 in operation when the Mason City Drive-In closed and now only 3.

I saved about 25 pick up loads from the Mason City Drive-In starting a new road

for me, The Drive-In Theatre Museum.

I have now saved what I could from 4 Iowa Drive-In's.
