A more accurate address (at least for Google) is HWY 73 and 703 Loop, Falls City, NE 68355.

The drive-in was located just to the south on the east side of the road. Today, it is private property with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/jps4jnd

The poster featuring “Honky Tonk Burlesque” and “Love Moods” is pretty interesting as both films were released in 1952, demonstrated that “adult only” entertainment started at the drive-in long before the late 1960s.

Kenmore commented about Loop Drive-In on May 17, 2016 at 1:17 am

Based on the poster, the approximate address (at least to Google) is 2802 N 3rd St, Temple, TX. The drive-in occupied the “loop” area where HWY 81 meets North 3rd Street.

The drive-in itself appears to have been closed and torn down by the late 1950s. A 1964 aerial photo shows a faint outline of the drive-in and what appears to be the foundation of the projector booth/concession stand. http://tinyurl.com/zos3ojf

A closer address (at least for Google) is 3159 NE 10 St, Kingman, KS. Today, it is private property, but you can easily see the outline, ramps, and even the foundation of the screen. http://tinyurl.com/zushpkp

Found it!

A closer address (at least for Google) is 1712 E Fulton Plaza, Garden City, KS. The drive-in was located on the SE side of the city and today several businesses occupy the location. There is no trace of the drive-in left. http://tinyurl.com/j3hunv8

Slight spelling correction, the address is Highway 24 & Jazmine Trail, Beloit, KS. Follow the Jazmine Trail less than a ½ mile to the east and you’ll see the remains of the drive-in on the south side. https://goo.gl/maps/xNMlU

A closer address (at least for Google) is 1 NE 100 Ave, Ellinwood, KS. Today, it is private property with a house sitting in the middle. However, you can just make out the faint outlines of the ramps on the north side. http://tinyurl.com/jcl5wrf

Found it!

The drive in was located on the NW corner of County road 1425 and County road 1700 Caney, KS. Today, it is private property, but you can still see the faint outline and ramps of the drive in.

Kenmore commented about Skyline Drive-In on May 13, 2016 at 12:39 am

The drive-in location offered a spectacular view of downtown Tulsa, but it closed in 1970 due in part to the fact that it was well away from where the city was growing. The Apache, Airview, and 11th Street drive-ins lasted into the early 1980s and the Admiral Twin is still around today.

The address of 2708 N 1st Ave, Durant, OK is an accurate one (at least for Google). However, a housing edition has been built on the property so there is no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/jmk8h3a

Kenmore commented about Sunset Drive-In on May 12, 2016 at 8:59 pm

Found it!!

A very close address (at least for Google) is Total Ave, Spiro, OK. The drive-in itself is just to the NE of the intersection of Total Ave and US 59 and behind a residential home.

Remarkably, the screen is still up and appears intact. However, the concession stand/projection booth appears to be worse for wear and even the ramps have faded away, but you can easily see the outline. http://tinyurl.com/j4dsoet

A closer address (at least with Google) is 441 Osage Dr, Purcell, OK. Today, the GM Tank company which produces septic tanks and storm shelters occupies the property. The only remnants of the drive-in is the general outline and the marquee which the company still uses. http://tinyurl.com/z3mwmdl

Kenmore commented about Lincolndale Drive-In on May 11, 2016 at 6:47 pm

Found it! The address is (at least according to Google) 1422 Goshen Ave, Fort Wayne, IN. The drive-in sat on the north side of the road.

Today, the property is partly used for parking overflow of the Foellinger Theater and the rest has walking paths. The only remaining evidence that the drive-in existed is the foundation for the screen. http://tinyurl.com/zm79z8h

Kenmore commented about Spalding Drive-In on May 6, 2016 at 12:08 am

One potential address for the drive-in is 1007 Memorial Road, Griffin, GA. It is not far from the Griffin-Spaulding Airport.

Today, most of the drive-in is part of the New Oak Cemetery and the Veteran’s Service Office. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Midway Drive-In on May 4, 2016 at 8:51 pm

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.

You can see the screen which appears to be painted to the west-side wall of the NAB building which overlooks the grassy area mentioned above.

A closer address (according to Google) is 1012 North Co Road 800 E, Tuscola, Illinois 61953. That is right next to what is left of the drive-in, a feint outline including the ramps with a silo in the middle. http://tinyurl.com/jkr95rz

A closer address (at least according to Google) is 1168 E. Clinton Ave, Seymour, MO. The drive-in sits on the NE corner of the intersection and is still intact. http://tinyurl.com/hyumaa3

1 Owen Street where Google is currently mapping is west of Seymour and is clearly NOT the correct address.
