A closer address (at least for Google) is HWY 191 and HWY 78, Three Way, AZ. The drive-in can easily be seen at the intersection on the NW side.

Scheduled for completion in the mid-1970s, the builders behind the Eastland Shopping Mall ran out of money and the property sat there for years with the structure about 80% complete. My parents and I drove by the uncompleted mall for years.
When the money was finally gathered and the mall completed, the Woodland Hills Mall on the south side of town was built and flourishing. Although the location of the Eastland Shopping Mall may have prevented its success, it certainly would have enjoyed a better fate had it opened well ahead of the Woodland Hills Mall as it was supposed to.
The address (according to Google) is 1843 River Rd
Chillicothe, OH. Today, the property is home to the Air Evac Lifeteam 98 (complete with heli-pad) and a residence.
You can still see faint hints of ramps and the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand.

A somewhat more accurate address (at least for Google) is 1201 4th Ave SW, Bessemer, AL. From the 1970 aerial photo and 1967 topo maps, the drive-in sat entirely on the property currently occupied by the American Legion on the north side and Favor Steel on the south.
The treeline on the south side of Favor Steel marks where the old drive-in stopped.
There is no trace of the old drive-in remaining. The north entrance road to the American Legion marks where the old entrance to the drive-in was located.

A closer address (at least for Google) is 701 Main Rd, Enfield, ME 04493. The drive-in sat less than a quarter-mile south of the address on the east side.
Today, it is a large, open field with a single house on the northwest side that appears to be unused or abandoned. Apart from its general outline, no trace of the drive-in remains.
Google Maps cites the address as 3540 N White Sands Blvd, Alamogordo, NM. Currently, a pet adoption center and UPS Customer Center sit on the property.
However, you can see the remnants of the ramps on the north side.

A closer address (at least for Google) is 3500 SW 59th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73159. This puts the address on the west side of the highway where the drive-in was located.

Sometimes, I agree. But when the address does work that to me is better.
I’ve noticed that every couple of years there are changes to Google Maps or sometimes the street names change or new streets are added. So, when someone steps in to make the changes on this site I accept it and applaud their efforts to make it more accurate.
As long as the results are more accurate of course. ;)
Google Maps clearly shows the entrance road as “26th Street” not “25th”. You can see it on the Google Maps street view.

I can’t speak for the business that is selling the property, but the street sign at the intersection is quite clear. The property itself is a new subdivision with different lots up for sale.
Please change the address to 1 N. 26th St, Beatrice, NE as it accurately maps the address, matches the street sign, and is in the same location to the old entrance road of the drive-in.
When mapping the address supplied by JWMovies, it is considerably off as it points to an empty field east of the airport.
A 1993 aerial and 1984 topo map clearly shows the drive-in on the West side of town. The entrance was at 279 S Thatcher St, Valentine, NE 69201. Valentine Locker sits too far west, one block over from the drive-in location
Today, a business sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining save arguably for the entrance/exit road on Thatcher Street.

The address is 30001 US-71, Maryville, MO. According to the 1985 topo map, it was in existence at that time. It also fits the description of being well south of town and difficult to find while still being on HWY 71.
You can see the ramps, projection booth/concession stand foundation, and the screen is still intact.

If Dallasmovietheaters is correct, then the address of 30001 US-71, Maryville, MO would be that of the South Cinema Drive-In, not the Starlight Dude Ranch since it was completely razed with a K-Mart built on the property.
The drive-in sat on a hill just to the south of where the Lawn Care Equipment Company building resides. You can still see remnants of the ramps and screen foundation. The ticket booth and the concession stand/projection booth appear to still be standing.
A large cell phone tower stands next to the projection booth/concession stand.

However, the 1962 aerial photos show the drive-in was completely demolished by that point.

I found that 201 S. Thatcher Street was too far north. 279 seemed to hit the entrance road dead-on.
Of course, things change on Google frequently, so perhaps 201 will be good again someday.
