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.
John and Drew Eberson architectural sketch circa 1955 in photos.
This opened on September 8th, 1955. Grand opening ad in photo section,
Property is now a “Park and Ride” so people can catch the bus. Screen still in good shape, but half the property is overgrown. Concession stand/projection booth long gone, but restoration is possible.
As an aside, the Google street view from 2016 shows the driver of a pickup on the north lane using his hand to show his disapproval of being on Google street view.
Opened with “Not as a stranger” and “Lone gun”.
They Updated the Google Street view to 2018 and you can actually go on to the property now past the screen!
Still Operating Since 1995, But Have Been Closed Later On Because In The 2004 Cam You Can See A Lot Of Bushes Covering Most Of The Parking.
