Ken's Carhop Drive In Theatre was located in Birch Run, MI. in the lot next to Ken's Diner. It was a single screen drive-in. The screen was mounted to the side of a tractor trailer. The sign had said 4 nights a week, but their website said 7. We happened upon it while driving around with no particular place to go.
Hmmm... Anyway, we stopped at the diner for a bite to eat and we got to talk to the owners and they seem like nice people. They got a great story about how it all came to be. I'll let Ken tell it.
Well that was last year when we first came upon Ken's. When we were through there earlier this year, Ken said it just wasn't working out, mostly because the lot flooded whenever it rained and would take forever to dry.
Anyway, Ken still has a great story about the diner... The pix, from last year.
