Miles East Main. I went there often when younger. Used to wait for the projectionist to get hot and open the door. One night, he was running flat films and had to run a scope trailer on one machine. It was great to see him hustle around to put the reel on and thread up that other machine.
There was a root beer drive-in outside the gate that you could see from the inside. It was a sure sign the evening was getting late when they turned off the revolving root beer mug on top.
This was never twinned…always a single screen.
For the record, Whitehall is an eastern suburb of Columbus, OH. There were 2 other drive-ins on E. Main Street in Whitehall, one was the Inn-Town and I think the other was the EastSide.
Miles East Main later became Chakeres East Main, I believe.
Spent many a summer night at this drive in. Love Bug, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 101 Dalmatians, etc……Remember seeing Orton Davis fourth of July Fireworks, pre- RED WHITE AND BOOM, from the drive in.
