The Evergreen Drive-In opened in 1947 as the Ruthhorne Drive-In with a single screen and parking for 300 cars. It was located south of Mt. Pleasant near Scottdale.
By 1955 the name had changed to the Evergreen Drive-In. Two more screens were added around 2002.

CARTOON AND SHORT
This is from Boxoffice magazine in April 1962:
Homer and Rita Michael returned to the theater business when they reopened the Evergreen Drive-In in the Mount Pleasant-Scottsdale area. They acquired the drive-in from Mrs. Donald Ruth, widow of the original owner who managed this ozoner last year.
The Michaels, former operators of the Liberty Theater on Pittsburgh’s south side, have modernized the Evergreen, first with a complete fresh paint job, including screen resurfacing, and also with installation of new in-car speakers. The concession building, with various new features and equipment, has been turned into a self-service operation under management of Rita Michael.
Opened on June 19, 1947, Address: 309 Drive-In Ln. Tel. 724.547.2632
