1958 aerial posted here.
It was a C.W. Murell Theatre in 1956.
Playing “SEVEN MINUTES” and “MYRA BRECKINRIDGE”.Two very poor movies.
Are you positive that this drive-in closed in 1980? My family went here often and I remember my brother and I playing around, he was born in 1980. Palm Cinema opened in 1986 and I’m pretty sure six years did not pass between the drive-in closing and Palm Cinema opening. Floyd owned the land and drive-in and sold the land with the condition that the shopping center developers allow Floyd to build a new theater on the property (Palm Cinema 3).
The Lakeland Drive-In had a capacity for 456 cars in 1975.
