The Terrace Drive-In definitely opened before 1950. I started compiling information on all local engagements starting with January 1, 1950 and on that date they were showing the double feature of Beyond the Forest and Chicago Deadline.
A correction above: The Terrace Drive-In opened July 13, 1949. Opening features were “The Hills of Home” and Jungle Patrol."
Opened with “Hills of Home” and “Jungle Patrol”. The tow yard is called Jims Towing.
