B&B Theatres closed the I-70 in 2018.
One of the great drive-in marquees, The I-70 neon was meant as a scaled down replica of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. On closing, the arch was destroyed. Fortunately, the I-70 Drive-In neon survived. LUMI was also fortunate to rescue two original speakers from the grounds.
