(88) was the mason who built the original foundations for the old movie screen and concession stand sixty-five years ago. Especially since he learned that his father, John Tachin Sr. John admits the drive-in concept is much more appealing to him. He thinks an adjacent railroad right-of-way could be used to shuttle people between the parking lot and the port. And the tile floor of the restroom is still mostly intact.Īnother idea he’s exploring for the property is to use it as overflow parking for the new marina development at the Port of Rochester.

They listed the 18 acre parcel at 207 Ling Road for $595,000 and John Tachin jumped on it. National Amusements of Dedham, MA held on to the property until late last year. The Lakeshore Drive-in opened on Jand was a popular destination among families and teenage, eh hem, sweethearts, until its final season in 1992. Dominic’s restaurant in Charlotte has purchased the former Lakeshore Drive-In site and is considering plans to reopen it as a drive in movie theater… Now comes an equally exciting rumor from RocSubway that has also checked out.
