I saw “Bedknobs and Broomsticks” here when I was five. Before this drive-in closed, it showed adult movies.

Opened November 15, 1963 (exactly one week before President Kennedy was assassinated). The last listing I saw for this one was from December 7, 1980 (the day before John Lennon was killed).
This was the second of only two drive-ins to be built within the Pittsburgh city limits (the other being Silver Lake in East Liberty). Located in the Spring Garden area off Spring Garden Ave., it sat just off to the left near the point where Williams Rd. (formerly Geyer Rd.) becomes Lamar St. Direct access from the other end via East Street Bridge was blocked off years later with new developments. There is nothing left of the North Side except an empty field as it became vandalized in its waning years.
The Northside Drive-In is listed in 1980 with a capacity for 700 cars. Operator at that time was Cinemette.
Use 3200 Williams Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15212 to map. the lot is south of this towards Lamar.
The Northside Drive-In was located on Geyer Road, some of the footprints are still there.
