Opened on September 16, 1953.
“TUSCOLA, ILL. – Kerasotes Theatres of Springfield has purchased the Strand Theatre and the Tuscola Drive-In from George Barber, who is retiring from the theatre business.” — Boxoffice, April 25, 1960
The Nov. 21, 1953 issue of BoxOffice mentioned that George Barber owned a drive-in “about a mile and a half west and south of Tuscola, where he operated the Strand.”
A closer address (according to Google) is 1012 North Co Road 800 E, Tuscola, Illinois 61953. That is right next to what is left of the drive-in, a feint outline including the ramps with a silo in the middle. http://tinyurl.com/jkr95rz
It is on: N County Road 800 E, Tuscola, Illinois 61953 To get a exact address might be tuff.
Look for the silo in the middle of the farm field and that is it!!
Allanhowls, do you remember a more specific address for this drive-in?
This is where I saw my first movie as a child. The first thing I remember seeing there was “Young Frankenstein.”
