One of four former drive-ins in Lorain County. Located in Elyria, Ohio, it was named after a large communication tower which shared the space, which still stands on the site.
The only thing that remains of the drive-in is the sign, which is now used for the storage unit that is now on site.

Was Lake Avenue renumbered? This ad for the Tower Drive-In shows an address of 6187 Lake Avenue.
It may have been,I don’t live in Elyria so I wouldn’t know if they did or not unless they had a second entry on the same road where maybe they had an office. So I couldn’t tell you for sure.
The Tower Drive-In had a capacity for 400 cars.
Here is a May 1958 ad from the Elyria Chronicle Telegram:

The 6187 address takes you right to the sign if you plug it into Google Maps. Not very impressive, but I thought I’d mention it anyway.
And that’s the address that should be used for this drive-in. 6187 Lake Avenue is the address for Tower Storage mentioned in the intro above. Here is a new link to the ad.
The first drive-in that I can remember attending….I was three, and they were showing “BRIDES OF DRACULA”.
Yep.It parked 400 cars and was owned in 1956 by Co-Operative.
Alright Mike.
