The Theatreair Drive-in was located at 4505 St. Hwy. 31 E. and is now an adult sex shop called the Theatrair X. The Drive-In opened in 1947. They also have a web site.

Google Maps are off about a block (not unusual for Google) but the Tractor Trailer park is there.

I haven’t found anything for a Theatreair Drive-In but there is a Clarksville Drive-In listed in the 1961 IMPA for Clarksville, Indiana. No address is given. Car capacity was 548. Operator that year was Vernon Powell.

The theater in FD Yearbook was probably not the Clarksville Drive-in; it was probably an older theater called the Theatreair Drive-in which became the Twin Drive-in after a second screen was added. The Theatreair was at 4505 Highway 31, which was apparently gone by 1970 if the information in the Rivest list is accurate,

I have not been able to locate an opening date for the Clarksville Drive-in, but the Eberson Archives indicate that Drew Eberson designed a drive-in for Clarksville in 1972.
