The Governor Ritchie Drive-In opened in 1939 showing the movie Gunga Din. It was owned by E.M. Loew Theaters of Boston. This single screen drive-in had a capacity for 600 cars. The Governor Ritchie Drive-In closed in 1983 and has been demolished.

I’d have to see that article.
You won’t be able to read the whole article here.

If that was the right article, of course. That entry and this one should be deleted.
If you find the one for the drive-in post it.
You can see the date at the top.

I can see the date. The problem with these stories is, without a follow-up, we don’t know how accurate the information is. The best articles are “after the fact” articles. Theater X Was demolished yesterday. Theater Y Has closed. In this case an article that states the drive-in Has been demolished and stores are being built on the property would be much more valuable.
I’ll keep an eye out.

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in.
Here is a 1966 aerial photo of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS.
Need to update the header with the address given on 01/23/11 by NYozoner.
If I remember correctly, it officially closed in 1982 or 1983.
