On a side note. The Flea Market that was held there has moved to the county fairgrounds in Berea.

Cleveland.com (Plain Dealer) article…American Greetings, which has its world headquarters next door, has bought the Memphis Drive-In.

The Memphis Drive-In closed permanently as of 10/1/06. I read on the Sun Newspapers web site (Brooklyn Sun Journal) that the property was sold.

The Memphis Drive In might be closing at the end of this season, due to a deal being made to possibly sell the land for a “furniture warehouse” operation. However, a final decision regarding the sale of the land where the Memphis Drive-In stands won’t be made until September, so there may still be hope that the Cleveland area’s last drive-in survives, should this land sale fall through. The Memphis is in a landlocked area, surrounded by other industrial buildings and a creek…there is too little land to construct an average retail, industrial, or warehouse operation, so there is a possibility that this land sale deal will fall through, and that the drive-in survives beyond this season.
