French Village Drive-In Hoodie
The French Village Drive-In in East St. Louis, Illinois, opened in 1942 as the East St. Louis Drive-In. It took the French Village name in 1958, when Bloomer Amusement Company took over. The tower had a stage and dressing rooms underneath it, and a tunnel ran from the box office to the projection booth.
In later years it added adult films. Sources give closing dates from 1984 to 1992, and about 1989 has the best support. It was demolished in 2005. The marquee sign was saved and is reported to be in storage in nearby Sauget.
