It isn’t good enough to be worth that $5, but Boxoffice ran an aerial photo of the 69 in its Feb. 2, 1952 issue. It illustrated a one-page story about the ways Dickinson Theatres managed its drive-ins.

In the July 22, 1988 article announcing that Salina’s 81 Drive-In would not reopen, the Hutchinson News wrote that Dickinson also owned a drive-in in Pittsburg that had closed. Perhaps the 69’s final shows were in 1987 as were the 81’s.

And yes, I would happily pay $5 for a good photo of this drive-in’s sign. :)
