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 (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. http://tinyurl.com/hbfbdl5

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.

Kenmore commented about Blue Hills Drive-In on Apr 20, 2016 at 4:16 pm

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. http://tinyurl.com/zgetnst

A closer address (at least according to Google) is 122 County Road 416, Hamburg, AR. The drive-in is located on the SW corner of the intersection and you can still see the outline and shape thanks to the trees. http://tinyurl.com/zbchnqz

Found it! The drive-in was located at 2020 St Stephens Rd, Prichard, AL. It appears in the 1952 aerial, but was closed and demolished before 1967. Currently, the land is occupied by a housing edition and local businesses without a trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/hol47e6

Kenmore commented about Starlite Drive-In on Apr 4, 2016 at 8:23 pm

A more accurate address (at least according to Google) is 2960 W. Parrish Ave, Owensboro, KY. The drive-in sat on the south side of the road.

Today, the property holds Kroger’s grocery store. However, you can still make out the faint edges and ramps of the drive-in both to the south and east sides of the store. http://tinyurl.com/jtfy4oy

Approximate address according to Google is 1228 S Ralls Hwy, Floydada, TX. The drive-in sat away from the road on the west side.

Today, it is private property and you can still see the ramps. http://tinyurl.com/jgunqay

Kenmore commented about Air Sho Drive-In on Mar 16, 2016 at 2:48 pm

Topographical maps going back to WWII do not show any indication of a airfield or even a grass strip for planes anywhere near the “Air Sho”. The area was a golf course before a large section was created for the drive-in.

Kenmore commented about Airport Drive-In on Mar 10, 2016 at 3:41 am

The address 1007 S. Main St., Galax, VA as reported by jwmovies is as close as Google will allow. The property now hosts a self-storage business and car wash with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/hae52l8

Interestingly enough, not even in the 1963 aerial is there evidence of an airport or airfield nearby at least that I can see. So, just how did it get its name?

Kenmore commented about Midway Drive-In on Mar 9, 2016 at 7:41 pm

Found It! The drive-in was located at 2707 South Virginia Street, Reno, NV. Aerial photos show it was in existence from 1948 and was still intact by the late 1960s.

Since then, it has been totally demolished and today the Peppermill stands on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining. http://tinyurl.com/h9qrz75

Kenmore commented about Highway 2 & 65 Drive-In on Mar 3, 2016 at 1:36 am

Pardon me, the screen sat on the SW corner of the lot, not the SE. The entrance is still there on Liberty Road, but nothing else remains.
