The above address will map to the location of the drive-in, which was situated northeast of the intersection.

The drive-in was located on US 14 about 3 miles east of Tyler. The footprint of the drive-in is clearly visible using Google Earth.

The address for this Drive-in is County Road 111, Tyler, MN 56178.

Now Friendly Corner Storage.

Although it doesn’t map correctly, as per the ad above this would be the address. There is a storage facility where the Drive-in stood. A couple of ramps though barely visible are still visible.

In addition, you can clearly see the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand just south of the storage buildings.
