September holds a rather dubious place in the history of Orange County drive-ins, as four of the county’s outdoor cinemas were closed during this month; the previously outlined Mission Drive-In (9/8/85), the La Habra Drive-In (9/10/89), the Orange Drive-In (9/11/94), and the Stadium Drive-In (9/12/96).
