I took a stroll around the lot today and, other than the shape of the clearing, there is no evidence of the drive-in. I looked in case there was a foundation or slab left behind from the snack bar building, but nothing.
@Kenmore, I researched the issues you mentioned and learned a lot. The Twin City Drive-in was originally down the road on a separate property. It opened in May and by June Cody bought it. In ten years the property it was in was sold. Cody also owned the Moonlight, which included an indoor “winter” theater he added shortly after opening the Moonlight Deive-In.
When the Twin City property was sold, he had the drive-in dismantled and moved to the Moonlight property. That’s why the maps would say Drive-Ins. It was confusing, but a lengthy search of local newspapers provided a wealth of information. I saved several articles and will post them here when I have a chance.
People have listed 1000 North Main St. as the location of the theater. That is where the marquee was located. The entrance to the drive-in was a couple hundred feet (at least) down Sykes Avenue on the right hand side. There was a restaurant and a side street on the right between North Main Street and the Drive-in entrance.
Looking in the general direction of where the screen had been located from right of where the concession stand/projection booth would have been.
