Found the other drive-in on US 98 south of Perry, have a 1951 aerial photo of it. I will make a listing and post.

Here is my January 2011 picture of the Graves Drive-in projection booth and snack bar.

I suspect that Perry’s other drive-in was located on the Old Dixie Highway just north of Florida 30, but I have no concrete proof.

Community outdoor Drive-in was listed in the 1956 Motion Picture Almanac,Chuck1231.

I couldn’t find either of those on old topographic maps. I’ll look again in case I missed them.
