Facebook post with a collage of 1959 theatre print ads, amongst which are the Dreamland and one called West Ashville Auto Theatre, which does not yet have a CT page.

You need to correct the information on this theatre. It was actually located on the corner of Tunnel Rd and Swannanoa River Rd. It now houses a Walgreens drug store and a Loews.

Dreamland was actually a flea market even while the drive in was functioning. IT was a drive in during Saturday and Sunday afternoons and a drive in at nights.
