I live a block from the former location, it’s presently apartment buildings and other private homes.
No it is not,I can`t remember that much about the place. I know it was a 200 mile trip from our home to the theatre. Dad leased the property, and we had relatives living near by. I know that it has been gone now for over 40 years. The last time i was in the area it was a driving range.

norelco…..I don’t believe that the Midway Drive-In that your dad operated is listed on here. You should add it since you would know alot more about it than I would.
Lostmemory, thanks pal, a graet picture. I was hoping I was not seeing things. I remember I almost caused a major traffic accident,trying to pull over to get a look at this 9 screen drive-in. I started out as a projectionist at my dad`s Midway Drive-In in Pa. between Hummelstown & Middletown Pa. in 1956. I have always had a great love for them. I remember driving along in my Swift tractor trailer and seeing this place and could not remember where it was,and was really impressed.

There is a 9 screen drive-in in Arizona. Its the Glendale drive-in:

I seem to remember in my travels a nine screen drive-in somewhere in Arizona, or I could be wrong.
