If your not familiar with Averill Park New York, its near Troy New York. This is a family owned drive-in. James Fisher operated the theater from 1952 to 1968. James son Frank took over the operation of this theater in 1968 and continues to run it today.
This is a fun place to go, and it hasn’t changed much since I practically grew up there in the 1960s. The screen is in great condition and the projection equipment is top-notch. The food is very good and reasonably priced (I even won a free popcorn!). The snack bar runs pretty efficiently, but get there early on a Friday or Saturday if you want to get something toeat before the movie as the line is LONG. I guess that’s a good thing as it will (hopefully) help Hollywood stay open for many more years. I do miss seeing the swings, jungle gym and carousel that we had so much fun playing on as children, but I understand that liability issues probably had everything to do with their removal.

Correction: Address number should be 9270.
The address in the header is correct. The Hollywood is now digital and Dolby Sound. They are open for the season.
Chuck…The drive-in website says 9270. Also, the website has a nice history about the drive-in.
