I-70 Drive-In permanently closed, owners say continued operation was not sustainable

A long-standing tradition for Kansas City families has turned its lights off for the last time. B&B Theaters says it has made the decision to close the I-70 Drive-In. The theater's final show played earlier this month. A statement from the company issued Thursday night said that despite making major financial investments in the property, continued operation was not sustainable.

  7. I'd go to the drive through once or twice a year and it was always a good time and every time I went it was packed. Bet it is expensive to run, but I did enjoy it

  8. I had great times at the drive-ins in the early 80's with my HS friends. We'd smoke pot, drink beer, leave the I-70 or Twin and head to In-A-Tub tacos, then hit Northtown bowling alley or make a run to the liquor store at 5th or 6th & Admiral for the $10 underage six-packs (Falstaff only). The drive-ins were just places to pick up the chicks. The last time I went, I could barely see the screen and the transmitted audio was awful. No great loss, but it's sad to see them go, like most things nostalgic.
