To Bevo: I worked at the Center Theatre from 1965 through college until 1971. It was a great place to work. I cannot get the picture of the Center you posted from the late 80’s to come open. Could you please send it to my email address . Thank you.

To Ed Solero

I worked at the Center thru high school (1956-60) and HF Kincey also owned a drive-in there name Tower. Your photo may be the Tower or the other local drive-in, Skyvue. To the best of my knowledge, those were the only drive-ins in town.

I don’t see a listing for a drive-in theater in Rocky Mount, but I did find this haunting image of some long gone and derilect drive-in screen and speaker stand overtaken by weeds and the ravages of time. Anyone know what this might have been?

This theatre sounded very quaint in a quaint NC community. It being art deco made it very special, imo, and now it is gone forever like so many others.
