Drive-in theater closing this weekend
Image By Christopher Lloyd | Indianapolis Star | August 21, 2007

After 57 years of showing movies under the stars, the Clermont Deluxe Drive-In Theatre will go dark this weekend.

Sunday will be the last chance to catch a flick -- your choice of "The Simpsons Movie," "The Bourne Ultimatum," "Underdog" or "Shrek the Third" -- at the Clermont.

In June, racing entrepreneur Bill Simpson received zoning change approval from Hendricks County Commissioners to turn the 20-acre theater site into a motor sports business park.

With the Clermont's closing, Indiana will have 22 drive-in movie theaters left, down from a peak of 125 in 1958, according to a Web site that tracks drive-ins.
