No trace of the drive-in remaining.
The foundations that sit behind the Country Mark are from a building that was constructed after the drive-in was demolished. That building lasted until at least 2008.
By 2010, it was gone and the present structure was put in place by 2012.
Irv Tamler of Indianapolis opened the Moonlite Drive-In Theatre on October 17, 1948 with “Life with Father”. The capacity was 700 cars. In development stages, it was known as the East Side Drive-In. In 1972, operator John K. Patterson was arrested for showing obscene films. A tornado destroyed the Moonlight Drive-In complex on April 3, 1974. It was not rebuilt.
