The Gay Drive-In in Worthington, Minnesota, opened on May 27, 1949, with room for 412 cars. The name was not a slogan: its operator was Gay Hower, who was still running it in 1955. Its later tower read THE GAY in big red script on a white wall.

John Margolies photographed the tower in 1980 for his roadside archive, now at the Library of Congress. The theater closed on Labor Day 1984, with a $1.50 admission, and was torn down the next summer.

Printed to order in the USA when you buy it. Standard US shipping is free on orders of $55 or more. Shipping details.
