You can still make out the faint hint of ramps and where the concession stand/projection booth once stood.

Although the overhead on Google Maps still shows the ramps, the street view shows that houses have been built on the site. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A closer address is US-385 & Co Rd 310, Littlefield, TX.

The property sat just to the south of the intersection on the east side of US-385. Today, it is private property, but you can still make out the remnants of the ramps in the back.

A closer address is Co Rd 181 & FM 54, Littlefield, Texas. This is about ¼ west of the drive-in which sat on the north side of FM-54.

For some reason, Google Maps does not like to include “Littlefield” in the address.

A 1993 aerial shows the ramps, but the drive-in had been closed for a considerable length of time. Sometime after 2012, the land was finally purchased and transformed. Today, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A closer address is 27734 NY-12, Watertown, New York

Today, you can still see the remains of the outline, ramps, entrance and exit roads, and the snack bar/projection booth is still somewhat intact, although in pretty bad shape.

There is no trace of the Harlem Drive-In remaining. It is mostly an open field, but there are no ramps or any indication that a drive-in was once there.

The latest overhead view from Google shows the area stripped of trees and the screen, too. There is nothing left but the outline and hints of ramps.

Kenmore commented about Sunset Drive-In on Oct 5, 2020 at 4:40 pm

A closer address is Massena-Massena Center Rd & Meadowview Ln Massena, NY.

The drive-in sat on the east side of this intersection. Today, it appears to be private property, but you can still make out the ramps and the foundation of the concession stand/projector booth.

Wehrie Drive is the name of the street that runs along the north side of the drive-in. Perhaps that is where it got its name.

An August 2019 Google Street View shows no marquee on the site. Only a temporary sign at the entrance. The “Space for Rent” sign to the west of the entrance does not appear in a 1995 aerial photo, so I’d say that if there was a marquee, it is long gone.

Kenmore commented about Nite-Way Drive-In on Sep 30, 2020 at 5:40 pm

It should be noted that the area didn’t go without a drive-in for very long. The Transit Drive-In began in 1952 and is about a mile south of where the Nite-Way Drive-In was located. The Transit Drive-In is still open.

The site, which sat on the SW corner of the intersection, is home to Heritage Structures. A number of sheds for purchase or “rent to own” are on the lot.

There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about North Drive-In on Sep 26, 2020 at 7:07 pm

It appears that the marquee still remained until at least 2003. However, by 2006 the entire area was changed which included the entrance road. There does not appear to be anything left of marquee.

The address for the drive-in is across the street from the high school to the northeast.

Kenmore commented about Basin Drive-In on Sep 21, 2020 at 7:01 am

Found It!

The address is 704 1500 E, Ballard, UT.

The drive-in appears to have not lasted long as a 1961 aerial shows it to be demolished.

Today, three businesses sit on the property, but you can still clearly see the ramps on the east side.

Kenmore commented about Tri-City Drive-In on Aug 22, 2020 at 3:23 pm

Found It!

The Tri-City Drive-In was located at 293 S. Old Pacific Highway, Myrtle Creek, OR.

Today, it is the Tri-City Mobile Estates, a mobile home park. You can still see the outline.

Kenmore commented about Skyway Drive-In on Aug 20, 2020 at 7:49 am

Part of the drive-in has been covered by what appears to be a flood-control wall. Although the screen is still standing, reopening the drive-in would require repositioning the screen.

A closer address is OK-3E & Ew120 Road, Seminole, OK.

The drive-in is just south of the intersection on the east side of the highway.

Kenmore commented about Star-Vu Drive-In on Jul 27, 2020 at 6:04 pm

There appears to be no trace of the entrance road. It started at what is now the intersection of 17th Avenue and Lincoln Street and ran due north. Lincoln Street bends to the west somewhat, allowing for a retention pond.

Today, that area is covered by housing which sits on the east side of Lincoln Street.

A 1973 topo map shows a drive-in at the intersection of US-283 and E0200 Road, Laverne, OK.

The drive-in sat on the SW corner of the intersection. Today, General Inc. Oil Field Services occupies the property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

A 1981 aerial shows the screen is gone, which was apparently still there in 1974.

Kenmore commented about Southside Drive-In on Jul 11, 2020 at 10:14 am

Surprisingly enough, much of the property is still an open field located behind a law office.

However, there is no hint of the drive-in remaining, not even any indication of ramps.

Kenmore commented about Citrus Heights Drive-In on Jul 10, 2020 at 11:10 am

The concession stand/projection booth appears intact in the 1966 aerial photo. It’s just that the photo itself is not nearly as sharp as the 1964 one.

Besides, if they had torn down the concession stand, there would be equipment, tracks of large trucks, and the like on the ground. Tearing up a building makes a big mess.

Kenmore commented about Clinton Drive-In on Jul 10, 2020 at 10:58 am

Another address is 4400 Lindbergh Drive, Jackson, MS. Although it does not seem to be any closer on Google Maps.

The only remnants of the drive-in are the entrance and exit roads. Access to a cell tower on the property is through the exit road.
