This drive-in sat near what is now Hilltop Mall in Richmond. Syufy operated it until the early-1980’s. Their current Century 16 theaters is near this site.

Closed in September 1984 and demolished in 1986.
Chevy’s, Courtyard by Marriott & Apt complex now stands where the drive-in was. The last double feature I remember watching was Clash of the Titans & The Gates of Hell
We saw Star Trek 1 there. The projection was so dim you could not see the 1st 15 minutes of the movie. I never heard so many car horns honking at once!

Here’s my snappy comeback a year-and-a-half later…
I can barely see the first 15-minutes of Star Trek 1 on my DVD player. The movie was pretty damned dark to begin with, I can’t imagine drive-ins doing it much justice anywhere.
My family saw just about every Disney film that came up to the drive-in, back in the 60’s. My brother and a friend of ours were actually there the last day they were open and didnt even know they were closing. The double feature was Mortuary and “House On Soriorty Row"
Still miss that place
Any photos anyone?
The opposite would be seeing “JEREMIAH JOHNSON” on the big screen outside.All the snow in that movie showed every crack in the Drive-in screen,drove someone like me nuts. Heck, i can spot a wad of gum on an indoor screen that no one with ever notices,Guess it comes from 7 years in the business.TLSLOEWS.remember CUE marks.Rookies today, have no idea what CUE marks are.
Yeah they dont have a Clue about the Cue marks!
