Andrew Jackson, And me a history major,for the life of me i couldn’t remember President Jackson.No Old Hickory listed.I went down the list of Drive-ins,almost two pages in the book and didn’t even spot an Old Hickory Drive-in.Sorry,Tls.
Well, Tlsloews it is not in the book so it either wasn’t built yet or had already closed.You might have to get some old newspaper ads from the Nashville paper.You had Bel-air.
Bordeaux
Colonial
Crescent
Skyway Drive-ins. in 1956. I know Nashville had more Drive-ins that that so i assume they were located in small towns nearby that the locals today,just call Nashville.
Well, Cactus Jack there was a Rialto and Rivoli Theatres in Chickasha in 1956 owned bt Video Independent Theatres out of Oklahoma City. Can’t find a Heritage Park Cinema,Newer Theatre?
Anthony,Here is alittle more on the Drive-in you put on, The Canyon Drive-in parked 325 cars and was owned way back in 1956 by Glen theatres.Charles R. Gilmour president.
Thanks raysson. I see you had an “i think” by WILD BUNCH,I will be surprized if someone does not get on and either agree or correct it.How some of these guys get facts on what a theatre plays when they don’t even live there amazes me.
Bivouac, wasn’t it great being a kid in those days.catch a sci-fi movie then get a FAMOUS MONSTERS magazine for 50 cents.Can’t do that any more.Great Post.
Nick had been telling me we probably had Silent movie houses way before the Imperial was built.He was right.I bet Bill has never heard of those old classic movie theatres.
Nashville had a bunch of Crescent theatres; Belle Meade,Belmont,Bordeaux Drive-in,Capitol,CrescentDrive-in,Donelson,Elite,5th Ave,green Hills,inglewood,Knickerbocker,Melrose,Old Hickory,Paramount,Princess,Roxy,State,Woodbine,Woodland,Skyway Drive -in and the classy Tennessee. You are welcome.

Couldn’t find anything in my 1956 motion picture Almanac,either had closed or was not built yet.

Cushing also had the American Theatre and Dunkin Theatre,plus a Drive-in also, Jeff.
Just let me know any theatre in Question and I will do my best with the Almanac to find them.
Ann Hyman wrote for the Jacksonville Times-Union.
I really don’t think a drive-in can be found to top this one in Flordia.
Tlsloews you might as well be talking Greek to those on CT that NEVER worked in a movie theatre!
