This one was at about 5988 Airport Road. The Airport Road Shopping Center was built on part of the property, but some of the ramps remain in the rear of the property.

STYLE:

STREAMLINE MODERNE

Open ~1950-~1985? Can anyone verify the exact dates?

Owned for it’s entire life by M. Switow & Sons, Enterprises, Inc. of Louisville, Ky. Sam J. Switow, President, they had about 14 theaters.

If you go to the Map you can still tell it was a Drive-In.

Need more info and more photos.
