My mom used to go to this drive-in as a teenager. My husband and I are interested in finding out some more information about the land that is still there. If anyone knows who currently owns this land, could you please e-mail me @ (subject: delmar drive-in)?? We have an interest in bringing back the past :) thanks to anyone who can help in advance!

This was part of the George M. Schwartz Theaters chain in 1981.
Here is a 1976 ad from the Salisbury Daily Times:

Was Snow White on the same bill with the X-rated movie or was Snow White being advertised for another theater? Someone had a sense of humor at this drive-in.
Snow White was playing at the Surf Theater.
NOT Demolished. Only the screen is gone. It’s pad and mounting flanges are still there. The marquee, double winged ticket booth and booth/concession stand are all intact and Lavender! Ticket booth and concession stand are surprisingly sound, with just a little roof leakage into concessions (to be expected). Within the projection booth still mounted on the wall, a National Theatre Supply Transverter, part # D-100-3. Googles addresses are jacked up. Best I can figure address for this place is 36922 Bi State BLVD, Delmar, DE 19940. If you wanna see it on Google maps, put in the address 37884
