Hilltop Drive-In Theater
History & Comments

Update: Listed in the 1952 and 1953-54 Theatre Catalog with 16mm projection.

Update: This tiny theatres existence was confirmed with the finding of 1951 and 1952 Jackson Citizen Patriot movie advertisements. The July 1st 1951 ad lists its location as US-127 NORTH Rives Junction Road, while the July 4th 1952 ad lists it as 7700 Lansing Ave. It's actual location is currently unknown. No ads were found for this short-lived drive-in in searches of July 1950 and July 1953 issues of the paper. (Michigandriveins.com 11/21/03)

Update: This was about 3 miles from our farm. We could see the screen from a high point like up in the barn. The speakers were outside and blasted pretty loud, we could hear them. The place was pretty nasty. We never actually went to a movie there. (Waterwinterwonderland.com/Rob Imerson 11/30/04)
