The Kenwood Drive-In was the last remaining drive-in in Louisville, Kentucky. It was a single screen which originally opened in 1949. The theater was closed in January 2009.

This theater is still owned by National Amusements. I believe the manager for the Kenwood is also the manager for the Showcase 16.

I really wish national amusements would list the Kenwood on their website!! They have the Kenwood Center twin cinemas in Ohio (which is closed, so I don't know why they have it on there anyway.) but not the Kenwood drive-in :(

The Kenwood now has a website! http://www.geocities.com/kenwooddrivein
I'm still getting info and working all of the bugs out of it, and unfortunately it doesn't have the bandwidth for pictures, but it shoud be completely up to date soon!

Hi, Rosalind.
I'm happy to tell you that National Amusements' other remaining drive-in, the Miracle Twin DI in Burton, MI outside Flint will also open this year. Like yourself, I'm maintaining an individual web page devoted to that DI at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/steelbeard1/miracle.htm which I admit is much more primitive compared to yours. I've posted a news story to the Cinema Treasures webmasters about the opening of both drive-ins giving you credit for the Kenwood DI info.

Thank you so much for mentioning my site in your article!! It has really helped people find it.

In 1975 the Kenwood Drive-In had a capacity for 700 cars.
