Starlite Drive-in marquee close-up (Below) Check out the Midway Drive-in of Kent, WA. Though this ozoner
is now defunct, the Midway was once a fun place for a family, dates, or
even passing by travelers to grab a flick under the stars. The screen tower and the marquee were once sights to see for the roadside traveler.
My Dad, Frank Wilson, just retired from 30 years of managing the Midway Drive In and Swap Meet in Kent Washington. On the 25th of September 2005 the Midway closed its doors for the last time. I worked for my Dad for over 20 year at the Midway, its sad to see it go. Many thanks to Troy Wilson for text. 10-05
(Below) The Starlite Drive-in in Roseburg, OR closed down in 1997 after being purchased by the Umpqua Tribe of Indians. Supposedly, plans are to develop the land. 04-06
