A classic drive-in once stood where a strip mall now stands. The 70 Twin Drive-In was on North Church Street (US 70) at the eastern edge of Burlington, NC. It was operated by Consolidated Theatres.

Car capacity in 1975 was 400.
As a single screen this was known as the East 70 Drive-In. An ad is on this website.
Opened in 1969 – Closed in 1980
Opened in either 1953 or 1956 as the Highway 70 East Drive-In Theatre and it was a single screen outdoor drive-in with a car capacity of 390. At the time of it’s opening it was the largest outdoor drive-in in all of Alamance County and surrounding areas. It wasn’t twinned until 1969 when the name changed to the Twin 70 Drive-In Theatre until it closed in 1980.
According to their ads it was just the 70 East Drive-In not the Highway 70 East Drive-In.
This drive-in was located at approx. 2834 North Church Street. One screen was where the shopping center is; the other where CVS is now located.
