Summary
| Description |
English: The West End Drive-In Theater shown about 1961.
The Drive-in was located on the north side of the Fifteenth Street Exit of Route 22. Construction began on the Drive-In in early 1954. Delayed by some construction issues and strikes, the theater opened in early November with a ribbon cutting by Mayor Brighton C. Diefenderfer. Managed by the Loews Theatres, the Drive-In had a capacity of about 1,200 cars. Along with a full concession stand and a children's play area. The screen at the Drive-In was 122 x 72 feet in size, which Loews believed was the largest in the United States at that time. The theater operated until the fall of 1976 when it was closed. The property was sold to Bruce L. Rothrock who converted the theater to a Datsun (now Nissan) dealership, which opened in November 1977 |
