From The Independent Film Journal, May 2, 1953, “M. J. Konemann is building a 450-car ozoner, to be named the Hicks on 96, at Pueblo, Colo., which he hopes to open May 28.”
Followed by a note in the June 27, 1953 issue, “M. J. Konemann opened his 360-car “Hicks on 96” drive-in, Pueblo, Colo.”
Please add a “96 Drive-In” to the previous names here.
Motion Picture Exhibitor, Oct. 15, 1969: “Highland Theatres, headed by Carlin Smith and Russ Berry, has acquired the 96 Drive-In, Pueblo, Colo., formerly operated by Homer Hibbits. Highland has closed the operation for extensive remodeling and will reopen it in the spring under a new policy under the management of Joe Davis, who also operates two other drive-ins in that city for Highland.”
