That’s a better address than Oakwood Shopping Center, New Orleans, because it’s not in New Orleans. I’ve been in Gretna many times being at the close by U.S. Naval Support Activity in Algiers and the U.S. Naval Air Station JRB New Orleans in Belle Chasse. They are all across the Mississippi from New Orleans. I ought to know, I took the ferry lots of times to get across the river to New Orleans. I got a lot of “sea duty” that way.
I know it was open in 1967 as Oakwood I & II owned by General Cinema Corp.
~Late 1970’s 3 screens approximate?
~Early 1980’s 4 screens approximate?
~Early 1990’s closed approximate? Michael Coate or anyone else is welcome to verify and come up with exact dates. See all the extra typing I have to do Michael, and I’m not a good typist?
Anyone have more info or photos?
Mike Rogers, your Skyway/Skyland Drive-In in Anderson, SC was deleted because it was alredy on CT.
The 1967, THE FILM DAILY YEAR BOOK of MOTION PICTURES, under Stewart & Everett Theatres, Inc., lists in New Bern: Tryon. Charles B. Trexler, President & Treas. with 69 theaters in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
A Governor of North Carolina was named Tryon, so a number of things in the state are named Tryon. Trylon was that tall “spire”? next to the sphere at the 1939-1940 New York World’s Fair.
Anyone have more info or photos on this theater?
I’ll bet lots of Marines went to this theater. The Cherry Point U.S. Marine Corps Air Station is nearby.
Berkley Road, Route 222, on the map showed the Southern United States and Central America, Not very helpful for finding a Drive-In in Reading.
I know it was not open in 1967.
Owned at one time by Milgram Theaters, Inc., of Philadelphia, David E. Milgram, President, they owned 51 theaters in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersy, and Pennsylvania.
I found it listed on Magnolia Street but that’s all homes. So is Magnolia and Magnolia Avenue. The only one that could work is North Magnolia Avenue, that seems to be a business street.
Anibal, if you know the building still stands and is now a store, what is the address?
Open ~1923-~1955 approximate? Your all welcome to verify those dates.
Also owned by Florida State Theaters, Inc. (Affilliated with American Broadcasting Companies, Inc.) of Jacksonville, Fla. Louis J. Finske, President.
Opened ~1998 approximate? Can anyone verify the exact date?
rayson, You write it opened under Southeast in 2007. My guess from the date I found, looking at the map, the areial photo, the condition of the roof and parking lot, the theater was run by someone else before Southeast??
Open May 18, 1950-~1964 approximate? I challenge you to come up with the exact date it closed
tisloews, I had a devil of a time finding the location of this Drive-In. If you spent all the time I spent Thursday Night and Friday Morning trying to find out the location you would have forgot by then what was in the original comment too. Google Map puts it South of Carrollton and it’s really East of town along the river, that’s why it has the name it has. I never see tisloews used to add theaters some folks for some reason use a different name, do you?
This is all I could find out:
Alexandria Mall Cinemas, opened by General Cinema Corp. ~1980, twined early 1980’s, open at least till ~1985.
Alexandria Cinema 6, opened by General Cinema Corp. ~1995, closed by Carmike Cinema, December, 6, 2007.
Your all welcome to verify the dates to make sure they are exact.
Anyone have more info or photos?
Open for sure in 1967.
Open till ~1985 approximate? Can anyone verify this date?
I found two different road locations?
2 miles from town on Route 45?
Highway 60E?
The two do cross each other, but it’s near the center of town??
Need an address, more info and photos.
