A closer address is 11503 MO-72, Ironton, MO. As mentioned previously by Kris4077. This places it right on the property.
Today, it is private property with a house that sits on the same spot where the projection booth/concession stand once stood. The only remnants of the drive-in are the entrance/exit road and faint hints of ramps that can barely be seen on the southern end of the property.
When it was a single screen, the drive-in featured an elongated exit road that curved to the south. That was erased when the second screen and ramps were created.
The drive-in was still intact in 1996, although clearly closed. By 2003 it had been demolished.
Today, the only remnant of the drive-in remaining are a few ramps of the second screen on the southside of the property.
Having said that, a reasonably close address is 103 Co Rd 438, Eastland, TX. That places it right next to the property which never had an entrance road.
A 1958 aerial shows a fully intact screen. The screen seems to have remained intact at least through 1995, but at some point afterward had the screen itself removed so now it is just a skeleton.
There is no evidence of anything else being built on the property. So, it was never a drive-in.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right next to the property, although it does use the same entrance road.
It was still intact and possibly operational in 1965. By 1983 it was demolished. Today, it is private property with no trace of the drive-in remaining save for the entrance road and a pile of rubble that may have once been the projector booth/concession stand.
A closer address is 15100 Old Morris Hwy, Okmulgee, OK.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.
Today, it is private property with only traces of the old drive-in remaining. Including a faint outline and ramps along with the foundation of the projector booth/concession stand.
Although the sign of Fleetwood Homes is still present, the property became empty as of a February 2024 Google Street View. There were homes on the property as late as March 2023, but they are all gone.
The only remnant of the drive-in remaining is what is left of the entrance road.
A May 2024 Google Street View (which has rays of sunlight streaming through the clouds in spectacular fashion) shows what’s left of the marquee which is three support poles.
Repeated plowing has removed whatever parch marks had been present on the property.
A closer address is 17750 S Bryant Rd, Tahlequah, OK.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property. As stated earlier, the drive-in was connected to S Bryant Road and not W Choctaw Street.
The concession stand/projector booth appears to be standing, although if it is the same building it has been considerably modified. It features a large garage door and windows with no small “projection” windows on the front.
Could be the same building. Could be a newer building using the same foundation. I can’t say.
Looks like the property is being used as a dump for rocks and dirt. Or maybe something will be constructed on the property. Either way, all traces of the drive-in are now gone.
A 1965 aerial shows the drive-in intact at the address listed.
However, a 1974 aerial shows the drive-in demolished and another drive-in a few hundred feet to the northwest, which is now at 367714 E 5020 Rd, Cleveland, OK.
So, I take it the drive-in was closed and moved to the new location where it still stands intact today?
A closer address is 2601 S Gregg St, Big Spring, TX.
The drive-in is present in a 1957 aerial. By 1965, it had been completely demolished and a large store was being built on the property.
Today, a Walmart Supercenter sits on the property along with several other businesses.

I’ve come up with the name Albemarle Drive-In. It will need to be verified.
The name makes some sense since Albemarle Sound is just to the south.
