CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

70 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Friday, September 3, 1948:<\/em> The first drive-in to be established in Champaign County<\/strong>, the Twin City Drive-in Theatre<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, opens for business with the Yvonne De Carlo<\/strong>\/Rod Cameron<\/strong> color Western adventure, FRONTIER GAL<\/strong>, directed by Charles Lamont<\/strong> and released by Universal Pictures<\/strong>. It is located on North Market Street<\/strong> in the far north reaches of Champaign<\/strong>, roughly where the Salvation Army Family Store<\/strong> and Great Value Storage<\/strong> are sitting today. Owner and manager John Barr<\/strong> installed 600 car speakers and several benches on the lot to allow for a good-sized crowd, according to several reports<\/span><\/a> published in the Champaign-Urbana Courier<\/span><\/strong> as construction took place, but would add square footage to the screen and more than 100 additional parking spaces in the months following the Twin City\u2019s debut to meet popular demand. In line with the eventual decline of the drive-in industry thanks to multiplexes, television, home video, unattractive programming choices, and in this case, corporate indifference \u2013 Kerasotes Theatres<\/strong>, the large Midwest chain founded in Springfield, IL<\/strong>, took over operation of the venue in 1960 \u2013 the Twin City went dark for good in late 1981.<\/p>\n
