My previous post regarding the M& T Drive-In is not correct, that post refers to the address of another Canton drive-in, Howell’s Drive-In.

I was able to locate the second drive-in for Canton, the M & T Drive-In, to the east of town, located at:

There probably are people in Athens with pictures, they just don’t know what to do with them or how to get them into the right hands.

One way to accomplish that is to contact the local paper, talk to a reporter and explain that you are researching local drive-ins for a book, talk about the names and locations of the drive-ins, and explain that you need their help in locating people who might have photos.

There’s no guarantees that they will put a story in, but more often than not they will, and you have a pretty good shot of coming up with some photos.

Another avenue is the local historical society, although those are very hit and miss since most historians were more interested in old school houses, downtown theatres, and churches, than they were in drive-in theares.
