This photo was lifted from my website by Ray Plummer. The photo can be seen at my site.. www.drive-inthruwisconsin.com. You can see my name at the bottom of the pic which was then photoshoped out. Shame on you Ray Plummer. Give credit where credit is due.

It Could Have Been Closed Sometime In The 1970s Or 1980s. The Drive-In Was Not There In 1992.
