Video ClipRare 1969 video of Coldwater including Coldwater Drive-In, narrated by the legendary John Magocs, founder of the Capri. He jokingly refers to the Coldwater DI as the Capri.
  
User Rating:Rate this location: 1 2 3 4 5 - Best
 
Entry Date: 11/19/2003 - WaterWinterWonderland: 16mm film footage provided by Tom and Sue Magocs of the Capri Drive-In reveal that this was a very basic drive-in, with no visible marquee (it was most likely on the back of the screen) and a tiny snack bar/projection booth.
In fact based on the photos it is hard to believe there was a snack bar at all!
Another unique aspect of this location is the very close proximity to the road.
