This property is now empty of all the remains or ruins of the previous theater. Satellite and drive-by views show the parking lines for the two screen lots, but little else remains. The property is now fronted by a small used car dealership on Memorial Parkway.

By 1972 newspapers advertised both the Parkway and Woody’s Drive-In as Cobb Theatres.
