Entry Date: 3/10/2008 - Tom Elmore : Does anyone know if the projection system was saved at all? I know the building was in pretty bad shape with the roofleaking and vandals etc.. I saw a lot of moves there as a kid.


Thanks

Entry Date: 10/5/2007 - Bobby Peacock: Projection booth torn down as of Summer 2007.
Entry Date: 1/6/2003 - WaterWinterWonderland: The projection booth reamains, there is now a gas station and a closed taco bell where the screen foundation used to be.
Entry Date: 1/6/2003 - Drive-Ins.com: The Tawas DRive-in closed after the 1991 season. Most of the field is intact, but there is a church and a Citgo gas station on the site. The snack bar remains, and is probably owned by the church.

Entry Date: 1/6/2003 - Drive-Ins.com: This was a great drive in, in its day, i used to go to it all the time when i went up north camping and when i moved up to Oscoda in the late 80s. I was saddened when it shut down, but they first had said it was gonna be a christian retreat, but they built a convenience store and other stuff on the property, i have lived in Florida since 1992, but was up there 2 years ago, the concession building was still in place, but all torn up, i did get some pics of the place though, basically just a field except out near the street where they built the store. This was a great drive in, was hiddened from the street by heavy tree growth out front, but was a great place to see a movie, but being so close to lake huron, i knew its life was limited, but its so sad because of all the memories it brings back to me.
