Kenmore commented about Northside Drive-In on Sep 13, 2016 at 2:09 pm

A closer address (at least for Google) is 14825 Old U.S. 27 Lansing, MI. Today, the property is empty with what appears to be a retention pond on the east side.

The only remnants of the drive-in remaining are the entrance/exit roads and general outline. http://tinyurl.com/zv5vzdn

Kenmore commented about Skylark Drive-In on Sep 8, 2016 at 9:43 am

Found it!

A closer address (at least for Google) is 2201 Liddon Lake Road, Corinth MS. I could not map the US 72 or Lee’s Highway addresses close enough to the property, but this road runs right behind it.

Today, the property is or was a mobile home business, but you can easily see the outline, ramps, entrance/exit roads, and foundation for the projector booth/concession stand. http://tinyurl.com/z6ohtuf

Kenmore commented about South Salem Drive-In on Sep 5, 2016 at 1:04 pm

From the aerials, it appears that the drive-in existed well past 1964. In fact, it was transformed from a single to a four-screen well after 1964.

Kenmore commented about Sunset Drive-In on Sep 4, 2016 at 1:35 pm

The area covered by the drive-in was considerable. The screen was located in the parking lot next door to the auto salvage site. You can still see traces of the outline of the drive-in that emanated from the screen southwest towards what is now an abandoned trailer park. http://tinyurl.com/zkeemg3

A more accurate address (at least for Google) is 23901 North Chrisman Road, Tracy, CA 95304. Today, a small industrial park with a series of businesses occupies the property.

There is no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/ztx8z2w

The Admiral Twin in Tulsa is one. It was featured in the film “The Outsiders” although that particular screen burned down in 2009. A metal one replaced it and the drive in is still open today.

A better address (at least for Google) is 3062 Broadway of America Hwy, Dickson, TN. The drive-in is located several miles east of Dickson and the land is for sale.

However, the drive-in appears to be completely intact. http://tinyurl.com/jmljhfq

Found it!

The address (at least according to Google) is 1824 East Ridge Pike, Royersford, PA 19468. The drive-in lasted into at least the early 1970s, but was demolished by the early 1990s. The remnants remained untouched until sometime after 2004.

Today, a Target sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/h6vuezn

A quick check of Google Maps shows that the screen is no longer there.

Kenmore commented about Absecon Drive-In on Jul 31, 2016 at 3:12 pm

According to the Google Street Map taken in October, 2015, the screen still stands. Also, a 2013 aerial photo shows the screen standing as well. So perhaps Hurricane Sandy didn’t blow it down.

Kenmore commented about Y Drive-In on Jul 22, 2016 at 8:56 am

A 1955 Aerial Map shows what appears to be the remnants of a drive-in located at County Road 124 and Old Wister Highway, Poteau, OK south of the town. It was located one block to the SE of the intersection on County Road 124.

Today, the property is occupied by radio station KPRV-AM you can still see what appears to the be the ramps and perhaps the screen foundation near the road. http://tinyurl.com/hj8dsux

A closer address (at least for Google) is 1250 Cumberland Falls Hwy, Corbin, KY. Today, a private business sits on the property with little trace of the drive-in remaining save for a few ramps, the marquee, and possibly the projector booth/concession stand. http://tinyurl.com/hkfmr86

Kenmore commented about Tower Drive-In on Jul 17, 2016 at 6:03 am

The correct address (at least for Google) is 6187 Lake Avenue, Elyria, Ohio as previously indicated by Bill Eichelberger. The screen is still standing, but that is the only remains of the drive-in. http://tinyurl.com/zfdnt4d

Side Note: The description states that the large tower the drive-in was named after “shares the space” which is incorrect. You can see the tower just to the SE of the drive-in, but it never was on the same property. I know, it’s probably too picky to change, but I thought I’d point that out.

Kenmore commented about Cuddihy Drive-In on Jul 16, 2016 at 9:23 am

And a projection booth as well (forgot about that). Still, if they used the area near the hangers or on the airstrips itself, there may be no discernible trace of a drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Cuddihy Drive-In on Jul 16, 2016 at 9:11 am

I looked at a 1952 aerial photo of the location that Yakima1 cited and there is no evidence of a drive-in scar at that time. So, I do not believe that is the location.

An aerial photo of the field in 1944 compared to the 1952 aerial shows virtually no change at the base. A little research shows that the field was abandoned shortly after WWII, but was not purchased by the city until 1947.

This may sound a little weird, but what if the drive-in was actually part of the field itself in some manner? If they used the paved area for parking, all they would need to do is set up a screen and speakers.
