This drive in was actually located outside of Hoopeston south of town on Highway 1. The address given is across the highway from the drive in itself. It was opened in 1950. In 1953 it was operated by John Vestal. It is now part of Gernand Farms.

A closer address (at least for Google) is 39378 North 1410 East Road, Hoopeston, IL. Today, it is private property with a large pond. There is virtually no trace of the drive-in remaining save for the outline and remnants of the screen foundation. http://tinyurl.com/zpamkue
“Mr. and Mrs. John Vestal, formerly of Paris, Ill., have taken over management of the Skyway Drive-In at Hoopeston, purchasing it from Jack Butler of Danville, who opened the drive-in three years ago. Vestal formerly owned Twin Lakes Drive-In near Paris, but sold out to E. L. Staup of Delphos, Ohio, early in May.” — BoxOffice, July 11, 1953
