THis Drive In was working in late ‘79, early 80’s. Me & My first wife went there around that time frame. In the mid 80’s, the Drive In had closed, I believe, and then a Tornado came thru and destroyed most of the drive in. All being heavily damaged from the Tornado, the Bruton Road Drive In was then demolished… Only the Entrance is left. Nothing else remains.
The Screen Faced Bruton Road. It was originally set to where the back of the Screen faced Bruton Road but was moved in latter years.

There are some awesome aerial views of this theater (and many others) at Historicaerials.com. According to the photos on that sight, this theater was still in existence as late as 1979.
