Opened circa 1940 on US Route 1 southbound at intersection of Lynn Fells Parkway.

Closed late-1970’s-early-1980’s and replaced with a Channel home center/Saugus Bank and Trust office building, and later by the present Circuit City/Eastern bank shopping center.

I remember this drive in from my childhood, growing up in Melrose. It was one of the few in Mass that was opened year round. They rented out heaters that did little to keep you warm. We always brought warm blankets to wrap up in. Always fun and makes for great memories.

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in, which is now occupied by a shopping center anchored by Marshals.

Circuit City has been defunct for several years; has another store replaced it at this site?
