    Popular in the years following World War II, drive-in theaters popped up all over the landscape. The Bowl Drive-in, located opposite West River Park and Marginal Drive, thrived during the late 1940s, 50s and 60s. Like most drive-ins, however, the business struggled into the 1970s, before closing. Little remains to remind residents of the past as the site is now a trucking concern.
