So after looking for old drive in theaters, I thought I would put together a list from the 1967 photos and Google maps of now.

When we ended up building our house we looked at a house that backed up to the theater lot. The main reason we turned that house down was not knowing what would be built there. That was 14 years ago. |

I saw the first Indiana Jones movie with my kids at the 51 back in the 80's. It was the cheapest admission in town and loads of fun to sit on the tailgate of the station wagon while the kids played. The Capri is now a Co-Parts insurance salvage lot. Always loved its 50's script.

I remember the whole closing down the 51 Drive In because of the housing development, and thought the owners had mentioned reopening somewhere else. I thought that it was going to be bulldozed and houses built on the land.

What was the name of the theater at 71st & Quincy. I vaguely remember it being there.

After talking with some people and perusing tulsatvmemories.com, the one referred to in the aerial photo as the Riverside Drive In was actually the Bellaire. The one on 71st and Quincy I think was called the Riverside.
I'm continuing to look at them however.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Bel-Aire that was the one across from the Pepsi plant. The one at 71st & Quincy I never went to, and the one at 45th & Sheridan I don't remember, it may have been gone by the time I remember the others. |

Here is the photo of the 45th & Sheridan area where the drive in was in 1967. To the north is Telex, and Geophysical Research.  |
