This drive-in in Lunenburg, MA opened in 1955 by Edwin Fedeli, on the site of a closed miniature racetrack, and is currently run by his son, Dave.
Unfortunately, the 2009 season was to be it’s last, as the land was sold for development.

Look at the Mohawk Drive-In link for more information on the Tri-Town.
I just noticed that Google doesn’t map this location correctly. The name of the town should be Lunenburg with a “u”.
It appears that the project slated to be developed on the Tri-Town’s site has gotten underway. Construction equipment has arrived – mark this closed.
That hurts. Too few drive-ins left.
Also changes the screen to “single” or “one” – it was never twinned, that was my mistake. Thanks!
Well, I’ve been made to be a liar. As of Jan 28, the drive-in remained untouched. The developer is still trying to secure funding for Phase 1 of the project, according to a Jan 28, 2010 Sentinel & Enterprise article. Makes one wonder if the project will ever get funded, or if the drive-in will continue on in it’s dogged determination.
SO…this drive-in IS closed for the time being, but NOT demolished. Please change the status accordingly, and my apologies.
Also need to correct the town name to Lunenburg. As LM mentioned in with a U not an E.
This Sentinel & Enterprise article from March 9 describes the beginning of construction on the housing complex being built here. The screen has been removed, and the foundation is being set for the new building. Now you CAN list the Tri-Town as “Closed/Demolished”. Truly, the end of an era. How many drive-in’s can say they were open for 50+ years continuously, under virtually the same ownership?
Here’s a set of photos from Facebook(no login needed) posted by various people. They range from movie posters a former employee kept, to photos of the screen and marquee in the process of demolition.
Only saw one ad on the above post.
It’s a slide show. The “Previous/Next” buttons are in the upper right -hand corner, above the photo. Sorry for any confusion.
O.K. Thanks Phantom.
