The projection booth/concession stand is still present in a June 2022 Google Street View. It was built to last, that’s for sure.
Boxoffice, Nov. 18, 1950: “QUINCY, FLA. - Construction is under way on a 250-car drive-in on the new Tallahassee highway less than a mile from town. Interstate Enterprises, operators of the Leaf, Shaw and Roxy theatres, as well as others in south Georgia, are building the drive-in.”
The concession building still exists in an April 2021 aerial photo.
That’s definitely a projection booth sitting atop what is probably the concession stand. Too bad the Google Street Photo is from 2007. It would be nice to see a more recent one.
By 1984, the drive-in was demolished save for the projection booth/concession stand. The foundation of the screen and ticket booth are still present.
On February 28, 1958, the CinemaScope screen that was installed in 1955 was blown by high winds, which the theater installed another screen afterward.
You can drive up to the building in the center of the lot on Google Street View. Looks like the old projection booth to me. What do you guys think?
That’s great when we have the exact location!
Yep, that would be the address. The Gadsden County Historical Society told me it was immediately west of the hospital on US 90 east of town.
Andy, was the drive-in at US 90 East at Hilltop DR?
Thanks Mike.
Never saw a lot of Hills in Flordia,but the HILL DRIVE-in parked 250 cars and was owned by Nat Williams in 1956.
