61 Drive In
Encyclopedia : 6 : 61 : 61D : 61 Drive In
The 61 Drive In is a Drive-in theater that is located about five miles south of Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. It is located off of U.S. Highway 61 and State Highway 136, and can be accessed from highway 61 by taking exit 153.
The 61 Drive In is one of only three such theaters still left in Iowa (as of 2005; the others are in Newton and Council Bluffs). The theater is owned by Dennis Voy - who also owns the KMAQ AM/FM radio stations based in Maquoketa. The theater is open during the summer months, and usually shows two first run movies.
The theater uses a low power radio transmitter to provide the movie soundtrack. As a result, patrons either use a portable radio, or their vehicle's radio system to listen to the movie.
