The South Chester Drive-In was opened in August 1945, and was torn down in 1982. It was Bakersfield’s first drive in. My dad, Jeff Lewis, was co-owner.

In later years, he and his partners built the 99 Drive-In and also bought out the Terrace Drive-In. They owned three drive-in’s total.

Your street view is all WRONG! The So.Chester was at Union Ave and south Chester Ave. I don’t know how to fix it!
