Hi Joe, You are correct. The McCleans owned the drive-in in Wauseon, Oh, the drive-in in Morenci, Mi. and at least for a time, the Rex Theater in Morenci. They also owned a motel at exit 20 on the Ohio Turnpike outside of Wauseon. The Morenci Drive-in was barely inside Michigan by several feet. The McCleans were close friends of my family and have passed on.

The owner of this drive in was Mr. D.L. McLain who opened the Star in Wauseon and also this place.

Might be a mistake in owners here - Bill Jenkins built and ran the Sky in Adrian, not the Skyline in Morenci. I do not recall the original builder of the Morenci Drive-in but it was the same fellow that built the Star Drive-in in Wauseon Ohio not too far away. He sold the Wauseon drive-in to the Wyse family about 1961. They ran it until Sept 1999.

A recent site inspection confirms the info of other sources, which is, the location was just north of the Ohio border (by about 50 feet!) and that a factory is now located on the old lot.
