Sky View Drive-In

The Sky View Drive-In opened on September 11, 1947, screening the 1946 musical “Thrill of Brazil” with Keenan Wynn, Evelyn Keys and Ann Miller. It was opened by Lawrence Black. Co-Op Theatres of Ohio was the buying and booking agency. It featured 10 parking ramps that could park 400 cars with by-car speakers. The screen tower was advertised has being 20ft off the ground and 30ft x 40ft in size. In May of 1960 the Sky View Drive-In was sold to George Anas and Thomas Anas from Weirton, WV (dba Weir-Cove Enterprises). They were already operating the Super 30 Drive-In in East Liverpool and the Hilltop Drive-In in Chester, WV.

The Sky View Drive-In finally closed at the end of the season in 1978. The property was redeveloped for commercial use.
