Now a Target and Costco sit on the site where Cinema Drive In and Showcase Cinema stood.

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.

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.

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.
