50sSNIPES commented about LaSalle Drive-In on Aug 22, 2020 at 2:27 pm

I Can’t Find The Opening Date To This One, But Found Some News Stories On This Theater.

When The LaSalle Drive-In Was Owned By Alger Theatres In 1954, The Theater However Closed Just In Time For The End Of The 1954 Season. It Not Just Ended The 1954 Season, But A Fire Broke Out Near The Interior Of The Structure. That’s Not The Only Time The LaSalle Drive-In Theater Was Devastated, Because During Its Last Year Of Operation According To The Times Of Streator On October 17th, 1987, Another Fire Broke Out At The Concession Stand. And The Theater Ended Up Closing Its Gates For Good.

I Can’t Find An Actual Opening Date To This, Because This Is A Rather Confusing Name For A Drive-In While Trying To Find The Actual Opening Date. It Is Also Named After A Drive-In Restaurant Near Columbus, Nebraska. All I See Is This Similar Blog That Reads The Y-Knot Drive-In THEATRE Dated Back As Early As 1953. Unfortunately, I Will Try To Find The Opening Date As Soon As I Can.

I Can Only Find A Few Articles From The 1955-1962 Era Of This Drive-In Off Of The Newspapers Website. So There’s Not A Lot Of Information As I Posted This. They Already Had A CinemaScope Screen At The Time The Opening Was Made In 55.
