The Return of the Drive-In
Tucson's last drive-in movie theater, the De Anza, closed on October 3, 2009, after 58 years in business. The screens were taken apart, structures demolished, even the old metal speakers that hooked onto your car window were done away with…but wait! Then 2020 struck and with it came “The Return of the Drive-In”!
