The Kingman was a different drive-in, further north.
Yeah, North High was definitely different than Kingman. North High Drive-In, the one time I was there, was the quietest drive in I HAD ever been too. (Go figure), It was pseudo eerie.

Drove by there recently, and that land is still not developed.
This was the first suburban Columbus theatre to show 3D, opening HOUSE OF WAX on 8/1/1953.
Original name was North Hi Drive-In.
Opening date was 6/4/1952. First features were “Belles On Their Toes” and “North of the Great Divide”
Owned by Hofheimer and Sugarman in 1956,Danny.

Above address is now incorrect. Approx. address for this drive-in is now 10035 U.S. 23, Lewis Center, OH 43035.
jwmovies, thank you for finding the current address for this Drive-In. Many addresses in that area of Central Ohio have changed with the rapid development making it very difficult to get accurate information. Making things even more confusing is that this part of US Rt. 23 is also known as Columbus Pike.
When the Drive-In opened in 1952, the address was listed in the Columbus Dispatch as “High Street North of Worthington”. Miles purchased the theatre in 1954 and listed the address as “8750 North High”. Newspaper advertising for the theatre lists the 8750 address until the theatre closed in 1981.
