Opened in 1949, the Skyvue Drive-In was located in the southeast part of town inside the Ross Clark Circle loop, near the corner of Main Street and Columbia Highway. It was operated by Martin Theatres.
While the theater has been demolished, the driveways remain. The lot itself still resembles a drive-in and, while overgrown, there may be theater remnants among the weeds and trees.

Must have been built in the sixties,not in my Motion picture Almanac for 1956,The other two drive-ins there were Martin Theatres,no surprize.
Skyvue might not be its real name. I found the site while looking at topographical maps of Dothan. I then checked some of the other theater websites to see if they had any listings for a drive-in in town. The Skyvue was the only name I found.
There was a drive-in at this site for sure. Clouds obscure the lot on Google Maps, but the outline is visible on Bing.
Thanks Andy.
Its page at Drive-ins.com indicates that the spelling of the name was Skyview and that it opened in 1949.
1949 is the correct date. It was owned by the Davis Family. Not sure of the closing date.
