There’s an MSN story about the unnamed couple who have stepped up to save Memory Lane.
The Memory Lane Drive-In has found new operators and is hoping to relaunch on Memorial Day weekend, 2025.
The Memory Lane Drive is now PERMANENTLY CLOSED. The owner has given numerous reasons why the driver in will not open for 2024 and instead be closed permanently. One was attendance, that is funny because you would have thought after buying land on a former another drive-in that sat empty for 32 years before he bought it that sits next to a closed 3 screen cinema might be a sign of, uh this might be a bad idea. Instead he opened Memory Lane, awful name in 2021. He added a second screen in 2023, although he said the drve-in had low attendance. And now closed a year later. The things people will do for tax a write off.
The Memory Lane closed for the season following two double features: “The Polar Express” and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” on one screen and “Wicked” and “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” on November 30, 2024. A decision was made to close permanently instead of launching a new season in April of 2025.
Although its mailing address is Monroe, the Memory Lane is in the middle of Frenchtown MI, the address it gives on its web site, which is only advertising shows on one screen this summer.
Opened May 28, 2021.Story here: https://www.monroenews.com/story/entertainment/2021/06/04/new-drive-theatre-opens-frenchtown/7512297002/?fbclid=IwAR32bxKebeP1TLJAcjf1w9x_LWdfdJ-dcKe3g78kMeQaJqFgtrn8TxdxUOA
