The Paducah Drive-in was located on the right-hand side of Rt. 45, otherwise known as the Lone Oak Road, about two miles south of town. I don’t know the exact address or what is there now. The Indian gentleman whose face was on the back of the screen was Chief Paduke. It had been built pre-CinemaScope, and wing extensions had been added to either side of the screen. They were not flat but at an angle, giving the screen a curved appearance. We saw “America Graffiti” there after it had played one of the downtown theaters. There is a picture of the screen tower at various places on the web.

Open for sure in 1967.

Open till ~1985 approximate? Can anyone verify this date?

I found two different road locations?

2 miles from town on Route 45?

Highway 60E?

The two do cross each other, but it’s near the center of town??

Need an address, more info and photos.
