Don’t confuse Centennial with South Drive-in. Two different theaters. South Drive-in was at Windermere and Bellview. Centennial was down by the Dog Track. Centennial had two screens, one North, one South. The concession was shared by both sides. Both were great theaters. I spent a LOT of time at both in the late 50’s and early 60’s.
