If I can track down my 1962 Dallas Mapsco, I’ll see what it says. It is getting pretty fragile, but one day I need to sit down and scan it into my Mac.
The Talbott Street Theatre opened as a movie house in 1920. However, the building and four blocks of Talbott Street would become far better known in other ways during the decades to come. During the mid-1950’s the art festival that would become one of the city’s oldest, the Talbott Street Art Fair, was established. It began modestly in an alley as a way for students at the nearby John Herron School of Art to sell their creations During the 1960’s, the Talbott area became associated with peace activists and bohemians, as well as artists.
Click on the 1955 or 1958 HA link for the area of where Twin Highways was, you can see the dual entrances. BUT in the 1972 shot, it looks like it was twinned, or a better description it was cloned with another lot next door.
Doesn’t make sense, but that’s what it appears to me to be.
If the above picture links are correct, then the 5300 River Ave address belongs to the Gateway Drive-In. The Port Drive-In is at 4801 River Ave.
The shopping center described above would be where the Gateway once stood then.
The Gateway needs an entry.

Don, in your pic it’s spelled Ramon, not Raymon, however……
Fort Rock or Roc or Ft Roc…. Guess it depends on which letters fell off the marquee.
Yep, that’s the case, according to some notes I saw…
Was located at the SW corner of Cherry Rd and Grier McGuire Dr. Layout still visible from the air.

Located where the Cherry Park Centre Shopping Center is located now. At the corner of Cherry Rd and Ebinport Rd.

At the SE corner of US30 and Phoenix Ave, GE 1990 imagery shows a drive in at this site. Out East of town.

Map link above is quite a few miles off. Try this link for a very close link to the site:
600 Indiana 161, Rockport, Indiana 47635
Pretty funny side note. The Google Street View car took a tour through the drive in.
It was located where Oakdale Townhomes are located now, on the North side of Samuell Blvd.
Looking through the area with Historic Aerials, I can’t find another DI on Gus Thomasson, so that is likely the only one there.

From their own website:
The Talbott Street Theatre opened as a movie house in 1920. However, the building and four blocks of Talbott Street would become far better known in other ways during the decades to come. During the mid-1950’s the art festival that would become one of the city’s oldest, the Talbott Street Art Fair, was established. It began modestly in an alley as a way for students at the nearby John Herron School of Art to sell their creations During the 1960’s, the Talbott area became associated with peace activists and bohemians, as well as artists.
By then, the movie house had become the Black Curtain Dinner Theatre. Along with the adjacent Hummingbird Café, the dinner theatre was popular through much of the 1970’s. Today the Talbott Street building is an alternative entertainment venue that opened in the former theatre at 2145 N. Talbott Street in 2002. However, the area has been known as a welcoming one for the gay community since the early 1980’s. The current nightclub, which has a Studio 54 style of dance floor, replaced the other gay clubs at the same site.
It’s a nightclub…..

Doesn’t look demolished in that view, and it looks in decent shape. And the address fits perfectly.
Are you talking about this place here?

Wonder why it was called 31 Outdoor, since it’s located on 51? Maybe the Route number changed a while back…
Not sure what road the entrance was on, but this map address will take you right to it.
3101 Forrest Ave, Gadsden, AL 35904 United States

Second to the last photo on this page is a small pic of the Killeen Drive-In.

And the building to it’s South has crumbled too….
Yeah, but now you can see it!
Zooming in on the map view in the title shows the roof is literally collapsed into the auditorium. It’s a goner now for sure….
Notice one of the ads lists the address as 4033, and the other 3 list it as 3033. Would be hard to miss the place I guess…
