At 1129 N. Tennessee St. was the site of one of the drive-ins in Cartersville, GA. You can still see the lower SE corner of the drive in property. The screen would have been right there in the triangle shaped corner not covered in asphalt.
Take a look at the photos I linked to on the Royal DI also in Meridian. It also shows the castle looking buildings also. They had a place called Royal Land according to the pics.
There was another drive-in off Hwy 19, NW of town off Hills St. It’s behind the spot labeled Village Kitchen. GE Historical shows the lot was redeveloped in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. That could have been the Meridian.
Currently has 2 assisted care facilities on the property, don’t think a 6 plex was ever built there. Old imagery makes it look like it was twinned at one point.
May be wrong, but a Redwood Drive-In on Redwood Ave makes sense….
About all I do in that case Ron, is find a business or two in the immediate area, Google them to get their exact address, and go from there. Occasionally addresses change. An old theater may be 431 Main St, but the new business in the same old building may use 433 Main St, as an example.

Read the story I posted to the royal DI page….
I doubt that both the Meridian and Royal had similar castle theming. But I could be wrong.
Short story on the Royal Land at the old drive-in.

This suggestive bushy patch in the intersection looked more like a drive-in in older GE views:

Wow, they start movies at 2:30 am on a Wednesday night? Not like people in MI need to get up and go to work I suppose…
On the map link above, just scroll to the left a little… Address is off a tad. If you type in 9474 Telegraph Rd it takes you right to it.
I retract my restaurant looking building comment. Heck, with only 10 parking spaces…..

Behind what appears to be a restaurant, on S. Big A Road is this place. Probably it:

Looking at some old images, there was a drive-in at 41N and Farmers Market Rd.

Street View shows what appears to be the screen back in the forest growing there…

Google Earth in the early 90’s showed a drive-in at this location, corner of Redwood Ave and Redwood Cir:

Is it Edray or Eldray?

Usually Beltline just refers to a road that circles the city, doesn’t need to be an Interstate. Like Beltline Rd in Dallas.
Jane, according to the Historic Aerials link above on 12/6/08, the land the drive-in was still a vacant lot in the 1961 view….

Looks like a stiff wind could knock this thing down…..
My post on June 9 of the Historic Aerials shot would explain a lot of what the are looked like back then…….. You ought to try it.
