Opening ad:
Pitts Drive-In opening 21 Apr 1951, Sat The Free Lance-Star (Fredericksburg, Virginia) Newspapers.com
Opened with John Wayne in “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon” along with an unnamed cartoon (unlisted on grand opening ad, but listed on normal ad).
The Fredericksburg Drive-In sat abandoned for a whole year after the 1989 season, but the theater briefly reopened for the 1991 season. Unfortunately it closed at the end of that same year’s season because of poor attendance according to R/C president Irwin Cohen. It officially closed on October 12, 1991 with “City Slickers” and “Terminator 2”.
