The address 195 Brinkby Ave today runs along the south edge of the drive-in. However, in the aerial photos of the drive-in in 1948, 66, and 67 no avenue can be seen, only the entrance road to the drive-in itself.
Clearly, the entrance road was the “avenue” and perhaps it did get an official designation from the city of Reno. In any case, both addresses lead to the same location at least on Google.
A closer address (at least for Google) is 420 County Road 17, Belleville, KS. The drive-in was located just to the north near the point where County Road 17 meets Old Highway 81.

I’d say that this drive-in needs to be re-classified as “demolished”. There is no evidence of a screen, concession stand/projector booth, or even ramps as the field has been plowed or leveled. The only remnant of the drive-in remaining is part of the entrance road.
