The Hillside Drive-In opened August 24, 1953 with a capacity for 720 cars. It also had 250 outdoor seats for walk in customers. It was operated by Sydney B. Lust Theatres. A large outdoor stage was constructed at the base of the screen tower, and beneath the stage were several dressing rooms. This drive-in closed in November of 1988.

Here’s a 1957 aerial of the Hillside.
You have to see this page. Contains some great old photos, plus there’s a short documentary film about the Hillside and a first-person account from a guy whose dad used to manage the snackbar and thus spent much of his childhood there.
