{"title":"Queen City Drive-In","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Queen City Drive-In in Springfield, Missouri, opened on March 29, 1974, at 3630 East Sunshine Street, the last drive-in to open in the Springfield area. Commonwealth Theatres built it with two screens. The first night ran Magnum Force and The Getaway on one screen and Westworld and Soylent Green on the other. Boxoffice gave the combined capacity as 1,000 cars; \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cinematreasures.org\/theaters\/8975\"\u003eCinema Treasures\u003c\/a\u003e lists 800.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name is Springfield's own. Local papers were calling the town a queen city by 1870, and the longer Queen City of the Ozarks followed later that decade. Commonwealth took it literally. The entrance sign stood about 45 feet tall on fluted columns and carried an eight-foot plexiglass crown in purple and yellow. Boxoffice put the sign on the cover of its June 14, 1974, issue. Milton Costlow and Associates drew the plans and Aton Brothers of Springfield built it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA former manager remembers a brown brick building with turquoise and white trim, and a projection booth upstairs over the concession stand. The bookings were mostly second-run pictures and themed marathons. After the Springfield Drive-In closed in 1978, the screen facing away from Sunshine Street took occasional R-rated marathons. The final month included a Labor Day dusk-to-dawn program of exploitation and horror films, with a free breakfast for anyone still there at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommonwealth closed the Queen City on September 29, 1985. The last bill was Six Pack and Stroker Ace on the screen facing the road, and Campus Teasers and Sugar Lips on the other. The screens and equipment went elsewhere.
