Approx. address for this drive-in was 4260 Bennett Memorial Road. The entrance is now Couch Auto Shop. Part of the drive-in outline is barely visible but still there behind the shop. There was no entrance from U.S. 70. which would make sense given what was playing in its later years…

Well, in 1956 the MIDWAY wasn’t playing trash.It had a good standing as a theatre that booked movies the locals liked. Westerns are a big pull in that region. It parked 200 cars and in the late 50’s it was owned by J.N. Wallace.

It showed a lot of “XXX” rated movies including its run of the 1973 adult classic “The Devil In Miss Jones” which ran at the Midway Drive-In for about 52 weeks!!
