Lights Out: Abandoned American Drive-Ins
| January 30, 2019
Pow-Wow Drive-In
Another drive-in both named and decorated in a Native American theme is the Pow-Wow Drive-In in Oroville, Washington — just steps away from the Canadian border. The logo that’s still visible on their neon marquee is a caricature of a Native American boy, with a potbelly and feathers in his hair. Most of the letters in the sign have now been stolen by eager antique collectors. The drive-in’s slogan was “See Um Tonight,” no doubt a super un-PC way of harkening back to stereotypical Native American speech patterns.
Not much is known about the drive-in, other than the fact that it could hold up to 500 cars at a time when it was operational.
