Marbro Drive-In May 1984 - September 1984 The END

Part 62 and the last one in the series listing every movie that played at the Marbro Drive-In once located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Today's post covers May 1984 through September 1984. This is it. All she wrote for the Marbro Drive-In which had opened with Thunderball way back on July 22, 1966. The Marbro would make it to its 18th anniversary, but would fall victim to the changing times like so many other drive-in movie locations less than 2 months later. The reason the sign and the article talk about 23 years instead of 18 is because there was a drive-in called the 4 Lane Drive-In located in almost the same spot that was also managed by Joe Tomlinson who managed the Marbro Drive-In. This was a fun little project for me to look through all of the old digital Daily News Journals to find the ads and then having to search IMDB to figure out some of the odd grind house movie titles. I managed to list almost every movie that played the Marbro, but fell a little short in 1977 due to really bad quality newsprint. I hope you enjoyed these posts. If so, leave a comment.

May 4 - 6, 1984
