capacity: 504 cars
years of operation: 1947-73

The area's second drive-in, it was renowned for its screen tower with "BROADWAY" in giant, red neon block letters across the top, facing the road. It went swiftly into that dark, bulldozed night, spending some time as a Ford dealership before its current strip-mall incarnation.

Below is part of a 1968 aerial photo showing the drive-in.
