The Forest Auto Theater was located on OH 125 and Hawkins Lane, in what is now considered the Beechmont/Cherry Grove area on the east side of Cincinnati.
Nothing remains of the former drive-in, which had a 600-car capacity. The site was recently home to a Service Merchandise catalog store.

My guess is that it would have been on the Northeast Corner, is that correct?
Open ~1964-~1969? Can anyone verify the exact dates?
From 1964-1969 it was owned by Associated Theatres of Cleveland, O., Meyer C. Fine, President. In 1967 they had 36 theaters in Ohio.
More info and photos are always welcome.
I have it owned by a Rube Shor in 1956.
Yes, Bob, it was located on the NE corner. I went looking, but there’s nothing left to take a picture of.
BTW, I found the location using http://www.historicaerials.com/ Great resource for finding old drive-ins.
