Entry Date: 8/20/2007 - Howard Parks: Now a Target and Costco sit on the site where Cinema Drive In and Showcase Cinema stood.
Entry Date: 2/7/2006 - Frank Ferguson: I worked there in 1975 repairing speakers while going to United Electronics Institute. I swear there were three screens then,
not 1977.
Entry Date: 9/11/2004 - Roger Nead: I worked here with Mike Babbs back in 1985.
The third screen ("Green", the original two were called "Red" & "Blue") was added in the spring of 1977.
Entry Date: 2/24/2004 - Mike Babb: My friend sent me a link to the site. I was the manager of the Cascade Drive-In when it closed in September 1987 for the last time, although it hadnt been decided it would be forever at that time. I worked there from 1984-87 plus time at the M-78 Drive-In in Lansing and indoor at Showcase Cinemas until it was closed in January 2003 (open November 1985). The Drive-In buildings were demolished in the early to mid-90s but I forget when. Showcase Cinemas was demolished slowly from January-summer 2003.

I think I have a pile of photos around of both theatres and the original blueprints for both theatres, Ill have to take a look. It might also be interesting to know I run an independent record label out of my house called Drive-In Records, 61 releases so far with bands from Australia, Singapore, England, Canada, Brazil, the US of course and other counrties. www.driveinrecords.com

Finally, I am still in the theatre biz as a projection and sound tech for Audio Imaging Specialists and get around to theatres all over the state, including the Cherry Bowl Drive-In which is probably the coolest one Ive seen.
Entry Date: 1/6/2003 - WaterWinterWonderland: The lot sits behind a Showcase Cinema and is loaded with foundations and driveways all over the place.
One of the foundations still has the tile floor intact.
