Bangor, ME: Bangor Drive-In to Reopen After 30 Years

Posted on Thursday, April 9, 2015 3:10 PM

The Bangor Drive-In in Bangor, Maine stands a good chance of reopening this summer, after being closed since 1985, according to a recent article published in the Bangor Daily News:

For 30 years, the Bangor Drive-In has sat dormant. Closed in 1985, the empty lot hasn’t hosted carloads of moviegoers since Ronald Reagan was president and you could mail a letter for 22 cents. But this summer, the two screens will return to life when Cinema Bangor LLC reopens the classic drive-in.

Slated for reopening on July 1, Bangor Drive-In is located in Hermon on Outer Hammond Street (Route 2) just over the town line from Bangor.

“We’re really just hoping that people embrace this experience again, it’s a very fun and a very experiential thing,” said Bangor real estate agent Carol Epstein. “I think a lot of people remember it at different times of their lives and … for the people who haven’t had the experience, we’re hoping they say, ‘Let’s go try it.’”

Currently, the closest drive-in movie theater is the Skowhegan Drive-In Theatre in Skowhegan, about 42 miles away. When the Bangor Drive-in opens, there will be a total of six drive-ins listed as active in Maine.
