No address or aerial that you could get the street that it was located on?
I thought aerial views served no purpose whatsoever?
Here’s a place South of town thats bears the land scars of a drive-in fan shape….

The main reason for an aerial for those of us that do research is to at least get a street name from them. So many theatres and drive-ins are submitted with no addresses and with a little research and time and effort and address can be found. Most of the aerials being posted already have the addresses listed in the headers. Those that don’t with the aerials being posted don’t even give a street or highway name or number. Any of the older drive-in fans pretty much know what a layout of a drive-in looks like. But to each their own.
Approx. address for this drive-in was Sunland Ln & Gerkin Rd.
Address is: Sunland Ln and Gerkin Rd Bishop, CA 93514
I know there was an issue with putting aerial views of drive-ins on the site. My thinking is, even with a current address that could change. Plus, I have had good comments about the vintage aerials I have posted on theatres that I have submitted. Sure, most drive-ins are shaped the same, but it is the property surrounding the drive-in that is most interesting, from a historical point of view of the drive-in. Sometimes you can pick out features that you did not know about. ..My 2 cents worth!!
