What a sad day! I've been running this site (in various incarnations) for over seven years, and for the first time, I have confirmed the closure of a Colorado drive-in. The Kar Vu Drive-In in Springfiend has sold, and plans are for it to be torn down and replaced with a hotel. With the demise of the Rocket in Durango, we're down to 10 active Colorado drive-ins.

All the Colorado drive-ins have reopened for the season.

I've opened the Carload store on eBay to sell the old books I have around the house. Check out the Carload Books page here or go directly to my new eBay store.
