Douglas Drive-In Theatre Sign and Movie Screen in Original Location, Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1987
01
Artifact Overview
This sign attracted motorists to a drive-in theatre located on old U.S. 131, on the outskirts of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The theatre operated from about 1955 to 1985, when -- like many other drive-in theatres -- it closed due to urban sprawl, declining interest by movie-goers, and the expense of maintaining and running a seasonal operation.
