@ CSWalczak … The photos weren’t mislabel as belonging to the Galaxy Drive In Theatre in Ennis, Tx. Brent, who took the photos of the Bel Air Drive In & posted them on drive-ins.com, used to work at the Galaxy Drive In Theatre. He (Brent) was not stating those were photos of the Bel Air Drive In.. He worked at the Galaxy.. Today, He’s (Brent) no longer working at the Galaxy Drive In..
Held 180 cars.

The link to its page at Drive-ins.com is http://www.drive-ins.com/theater/nctbela. There are additional pictures on the theater’s gallery page there, though they have been mislabeled as belonging to a Galaxy Drive-in in Ennis, Texas.
5157 Reidsville Rd, Walkertown, NC 27051
The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in, which is visible on Google Earth using historic aerial imagery.
Here is a link to a Facebook fan page for the Bel-Air that has over 1,500 members. Walkertown misses their drive-in, which opened in 1955 and was shuttered in 2000.
Can anyone come up with an address or crossroad for this Drive-in? More info and photos are always welcome.
There is an entry in the Drive-ins.com database – http://www.drive-ins.com/theater/nctdr26 – for a theater simply called there “Drive-in” that was located on North Carolina Route 158 that accommodated 300 cars.
Must have been built in the sixties.
