Still open in the 1970s, but may’ve closed in the 1980s.

Spotted one drive-in where Daly Boulevard and Young Drive is, but was already gone by the early-1970s, meaning that it could be the Mount Olive.

So it appears that this only operated for only the 1949 season.

50sSNIPES commented about 17 Drive-In on Jan 4, 2026 at 7:42 am

This appears to be closed during the 1970s, but both 1980 and 1981 aerial views show that the entire theater was intact, including the screen and glory but half of the traces were overgrown by trees. A 1985 aerial view shows the entire theater being covered in trees, but the screen remained standing but was gone by 1992.

50sSNIPES commented about Jordan Drive-In on Jan 4, 2026 at 7:30 am

This opened either in the late-1950s or early-1960s, due to the fact that a 1957 aerial view shows that the theater hasn’t been constructed yet. It most likely operated into the mid-1980s. A 1991 aerial view does show the theater with the screen and glory but not appearing to be in operational condition. I got a little glimpse look at the traces and it appears that some very tiny homes were placed. It was already gone during the early-2000s after Bradbury Circle was constructed.
