Currently a Holiday Inn, a restaurant, and a Texaco station on the corner where the screen was.
The Harford Drive-in was operated by JF Theatres of Baltimore. The manager at closing was Charlie Lynch who later became the manager of the Joppatown Cinema. Years later, Mr. Lynch was transferred to the Campus Hills Cinema were he remained until the cinema was sold to Loews.
Mr. Lynch was known to telephone the owner of the Bel Air- Churchville drive-in, five miles south west, and inform him when fog was coming his way.
I remember my dad when he had his drive-in`s, the fog would roll in and dad would roll out the exit with all the money and leave me with a handfull of passes to give out. People would get so pissed. One idiot even said he knew foe certain that they made an infrared lense that would shoot through the fog. I told him we had 2 on order.

The entrance is now Travelodge. Approx. address for this drive-in was 820 West Bel Air Avenue. The plaza behind this was the where the theatre stood. Beards Hill and highway behind didn’t exist when this was open.
