..and we must not forget the “Morris Bros.” other Drive-In in the city – the Starlite Drive-In .. where the PineRidge Mall is now located at on the old US-91 highway.

Starlite closed down after the 1979 season for the land to be sold for the development of the new mall.

The heading here should be updated to “Also known as Pocatello Drive-In.”

The ramps still exist and are overgrown but everything else has been demolished.
