A closer address is 23810 Elk Ln, Chanute, KS.

This address is across the street from where the drive-in once stood.

Today, nothing is left of the drive-in, save for the parch marks of the outline and ramps.

Kenmore commented about Belle-Mead Drive-In on Feb 12, 2024 at 3:40 pm

The drive-in was still intact in 1971, although it doesn’t appear to be operational. By 1980, it was demolished. By 1995, all traces of it had disappeared.

It does appear that the concession stand/projection booth is still standing.

The owner has put a cattle pen in front of it complete with roof. But thanks to new Google Street Views from January 2023 (a first), the concession stand/projection booth appears to be intact.

A closer address is 710 16th Ave, Grinnell, IA.

The drive-in sat on the SE corner of the intersection. The entrance road to the drive-in is no longer present.

Today, Grinnell Estates sits on the western side of the property with housing sitting on the eastern side.

All that remains of the drive-in is the faint outline of the entrance and exit roads along with the foundation of the screen, marquee, and ticket booth.

The North Central Missouri Branch of the YMCA currently sits on the property. There is no trace of the original drive-in remaining as it was totally demolished.

However, the entrance/exit road was repaved and is currently in use today.

A closer address is 3825 Hwy Mm, Hannibal, MO.

This places it right on the Lorax Trucking Services which currently occupies the property.

Apart from the entrance road and general shape, there is nothing left of the drive-in.

Kenmore commented about Broadway Drive-In on Jan 28, 2024 at 11:16 pm

Looks like the concession stand/projector booth survived at least until 1970. By 1975, it was gone along with all remaining traces of the drive-in.

Kenmore commented about Joe's Drive-In on Jan 27, 2024 at 9:25 pm

Today, the property is home to Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary, which consists of a relatively small building near where the screen once stood.

The rest of the property is overgrown with trees with only the entrance road, what may be the foundation of the ticket booth, and the general outline remaining.

Kenmore commented about Madison Drive-In on Jan 27, 2024 at 2:00 am

A closer address is 106 NE Rutherford Trailer Park Way, Madison, FL.

I understand the address is not US-90, but it does put it smack on the drive-in itself. That’s because the entrance to the property has changed to the side street.

Today, you can still see the outline and some of the ramps along with the foundation of the ticket booth. The projection booth/concession stand still exists as well.

And as the address indicates, the property is a trailer park.

Kenmore commented about Smithtown All Weather Drive-In on Jan 25, 2024 at 4:53 am

The ticket booth was torn down with the drive-in. The structure which stand near, but not exactly where the ticket booth once stood is probably the guard house for the housing community.

Kenmore commented about Cardinal Drive-In on Jan 23, 2024 at 9:00 pm

A closer address is 2692 US-45, Mayfield, KY 42066.

This puts it right on the entrance/exit roads.

Although the property hasn’t been developed, the screen and projection booth/concession stand are gone or have turned to rubble. The ticket booth is still present, but in terrible shape.

The outline, ramps, and entrance/exit roads are still present, but the entire property is overgrown.

Kenmore commented about Starway Drive-In on Jan 22, 2024 at 9:10 pm

The entrance booth was removed by September 2021. The marquee is still present, although not in the best shape. The concession stand/projection booth is still intact. It is the building with the blue roof in the overhead.

Kenmore commented about Rocket Drive-In on Jan 22, 2024 at 4:40 am

An RV park has been established on the northern part of the drive-in. However, the rest of the drive-in remains intact, although overgrown with trees.

Kenmore commented about Robstown Drive-In on Jan 21, 2024 at 11:05 pm

A closer address is 3313 TX-44, Robstown, TX.

Google Maps has updated their addresses, so this puts it on the exact location of the drive-in.

This property is now owned by Churchwell Environmental. With no trace of the old drive-in remaining.

A better address is 1310 Ruben Chavez Rd, Robstown, TX.

This puts it right next to the entrance road, which is the only remnant of the drive-in remaining.

Today, the property is divided into two main sections consisting of trailer homes.

Kenmore commented about San Pedro Drive-In on Jan 21, 2024 at 10:54 pm

In 2011, the property was the home of SOLT Holy Family Formation Center with several buildings on the property.

They were all torn down and removed by 2016. The only thing left apart from the foundations is remnants of the entrance road. The same one created by the drive-in.

Kenmore commented about Sundown Drive-In on Jan 20, 2024 at 10:20 pm

A closer address is 871 State Hwy 70, Rotan, TX.

The drive-in was located immediately to the south of this address. The entrance road no longer exists, so Google Maps does not have an exact match on HWY 70 at this time.

The drive-in was located southeast of the town along State HWY 70. it was on the east side of the highway and appears intact in a 1966 aerial.

By 1984, it had long been demolished. Today, it is an open field that is private property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Harvest Moon Drive-In on Jan 15, 2024 at 2:45 am

The marquee was removed sometime between August 2018 and July 2022.

An October 2023 Google Street View shows the ticket booth still intact, but Mother Nature is taking over and the drive behind the ticket booth looks to be overgrown.

If this is going to be reopened, they will need a new marquee.

Kenmore commented about South Ottumwa Drive-In on Jan 15, 2024 at 2:38 am

the old entrance road is still there, being used by the trucking company which sits just north of the property.

The projection booth/concession stand is still intact. Although in the Google Street View you can’t see it because of the cornfield.

What’s more interesting is that one of the towers used to support the screen appears to still be standing.

Kenmore commented about Killeen Drive-In on Jan 13, 2024 at 11:20 pm

According to Google Street View, the sign has been there since at least May of 2008. They must really plan ahead.
