I went to this drive-in many times as a teen, as well as Delmar Drive-in, Sussex West Drive-in (Laurel, DE), Kent Drive-in (Dover, DE), Diamond State Drive-in (Felton, DE), and Crossroads Drive-in (Denton, MD). Drive in movie theaters were a big part of Delmarva culture in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s when I was a teenager. Diamond State Drive-in was resurrected in the 1990’s and showed first run movies until 2008 when they lost their lease due to the death of the elderly land owner. That drive-in operator went on to purchase the Skowhegan Drive-in theater in Maine, and it is still in operation as of 2016, although currently being closed for the winter.
