I would like to know more about the Horne Drive-In. It was located on Chapman Highway down the road from the Horne Theatre. The Horne Theatre (which has its own page on Cinema Treaures), was opened from the mid-1940’s until the mid-1950’s

The Horne Drive-In is listed in the 1975 IMPA with a capacity for 400 cars. Not listed in the 1980 edition.
I moved to Knoxville in 1972, and the Horne Drive In was closed by then, though I did hear people talk about it (though at the time, I mistook it for the Sunset Drive In on Clinton Highway). There is a comment under the River Breeze Drive In that describes the Horne Drive In being closed by 1974, though he could see where the drive in had been behind some retail stores, and that a K-Mart (which is now also closed) was eventually built on the location. That must have been after I left Knoxville, so I still don’t know where that would have been.
O.G.Roaden ran the Horne Drive-in in 1956.
Opened in 1947 – closed in 1956
