Gem City Drive-In T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

The Gem City Drive-In in Quincy, Illinois, had its grand opening in the spring of 1950 on 36th Street. It held 500 cars, and in 1951 it put Grand Ole Opry shows on a stage. A folded program from those years told readers to attend the movies more often because they were better than ever.

The Kerasotes chain later ran it. The Gem City closed in 1971 and was torn down to make room for Quincy's new senior high school.
