Shouldn’t this theatre be listed under the name DeAnza Drive-In? That was the last name the Drive-in was called, and i thought that’s how things were listed.

The site looks like an open field to me. You can still see the ramps clearly, but it is demolished.

Boxoffice, April 10, 1961: “J. E. Poynter … said that he and C. E. Langford and associates will open their first Star Dust Drive-In at Bakersfield about May 1.”

1110 Quantico Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93307.

The previous address was across the street AT SOMEONE’S HOUSE!

THIS points directly to the entrance road.

Please update.

A better address is 1118 Quantico Ave, Bakersfield, CA.

This puts it right on the property. The 1110 address is a separate building of the house that sits near the entrance road.

The property is still empty with only the outline, entrance/exit roads, and ramps remaining.
