Here is a little something for you Asheville folks….

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.
In 1975 the Dreamland Drive-In had a capacity for 600 cars.
