I have a vague memory of my parents taking me here when I was quite young. I believe the film was “The Heartbreak Kid,” which had Charles Grodin and Cybil Shepherd. I would have been six years old. I think maybe they couldn’t get a babysitter, so they threw me in the back seat of the car. One of the few times I went to a drive-in as a kid.
Was also known as the Route 59 Drive-In from the “Abandoned but not Forgotten” website.
There is a picture of this drive-in marquee with looming screen in the new issue of Weird NJ.
I rode by this Drive-In last Sunday-the screen and marquee are still standing. I want to go take pictures soon!
HAHA….we used to park at Pathmark where we could see the screen For Free…anyone with memories of this place please write .ph
Is all the property still empty? Why dosen’t someone reopen this?
still empty
Above address is incorrect. This is several blocks south. Approx. address for this drive-in was 19 New York 59. The huge screen is still up. Concession foundation is still there as are all the ramps.
