Kenmore commented about Dixie Drive-In on Jan 8, 2026 at 5:49 pm

After looking at the 1983 aerial, the drive-in definitely appears closed.

There is no evidence of the screen, but admittedly that is difficult to tell because of all the overgrowth. Which is also a strong indication that the drive-in had closed.

Add to the back fence being gone and the entrance road also overgrown and safe to say that this drive-in most likely closed in 1978.

And totally demolished by 2006, Advantage Self-Storage now sits on the property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

As of September 2025, the land is still for sale. It appears to be a gravel dump. Only the outline and foundation of the projector booth/concession stand remain.

The property is now a disc golf park and all traces of the drive-in are now gone.

A closer address is 109 Westwood Dr, Marshall, AR.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the concession stand.

It appears to have closed before 1980. That aerial photo doesn’t show the screen in place. In fact, it appears to have been closed for some time.

Pretty much all traces of the drive-in are gone. Save for the entrance and exit roads and foundation of the projection booth/concession stand.

A closer address is 14019 Daggett Pine Rd, Crosslake, MN.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.

All that remains is the outline, faint hints of ramps, and the entrance road. Judging by its current size, it certainly grew from holding only 75 cars in 1956 before it closed.

This does not appear to be the drive-in in Frenchville.

The ramps are not visible anymore. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Sky-View Drive-In on Jan 2, 2026 at 2:43 pm

A 1970 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but looking worse for wear. So, it was probably closed by that point. By 1983, it was demolished.

Today, the Sunset Drive Thru gas station sits on the property. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Inwood Drive-In on Dec 30, 2025 at 3:15 pm

The drive-in’s entrance connected to both Pedal Car Drive and Winchester Avenue, but the current address is just fine.

A 1964 aerial taken two years after it closed shows the drive-in intact, but not in the best of shape. By 1971, it had been completely demolished. And 11 years after that, all traces of the drive-in had disappeared.

A closer address is 2174 Millville Rd, Harpers Ferry, WV.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.

A 1988 aerial shows the drive-in had been turned into a flea market and the screen is no longer there.

Today, the Flea Market is gone and the property is abandoned. But the entrance, outline, ramps, and concession stand/projector booth still remains.

Kenmore commented about Tri-City Drive-In on Dec 28, 2025 at 6:20 pm

A closer address is 1550 S Florida St, Borger, TX.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right where the entrance was once located.

The drive-in was up and running in 1951, so it appears to have been completed and opened before then.

A 1959 aerial shows it demolished save for the screen. So it appears to have closed at least a year or so before then.

Today, most of the property is occupied by Pride Trailer Village. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Pitts Drive-In on Dec 26, 2025 at 1:04 pm

Found it, the address is 1213 N Mildred St, Ranson, WV.

The drive-in was located just on the north side of Charles Town, but Google Maps lists it in Ranson.

The drive-in appears intact and operational in a 1955 aerial. But by 1974 it was totally demolished and turned into a trailer park.

Today, it is a small housing edition with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The outline, ramps, entrance road, and foundation of the projection booth/concession stand remain.

The building that sits where the original screen used to be was constructed sometime after June of 2013 and before June 2016.

Today, a building sits on the property.

The only trace of the drive-in remaining is the entrance road, which snakes up the small rise to the parking area on the north side of the building.

The latest Google Map shows the property to be a cornfield. The only trace of the drive-in remaining is a few feet of the entrance road.

Kenmore commented about Point Drive-In on Dec 21, 2025 at 7:54 pm

It does appear from a August 2025 Google Street View that the drive-in did re-open. It’s marquee lists “Weapons” as one of the films which was released on August 8th, 2025.

The main screen has not been rebuilt, but the two screens on the back of the property are standing. So, I’d say the status can be changed to “open”.

Kenmore commented about Starlite Drive-In on Dec 21, 2025 at 2:42 pm

Although the building that supports the marquee appears to be a concession stand, it’s a strange one for sure.

The building did not exist in 1956 or 1960. And while today there is open ground between the building and the drive-in, a 1968 aerial shows a thick line of trees which would make walking to the building somewhat difficult. Especially since you would have to cross the entrance road (assuming it is the entrance road as both roads have what appear to be ticket booths).

And given that the projection booth appears large enough to have a concession stand, it makes identifying the building under the marquee even more difficult.

Although overgrown with grass today, the aerials show the area around the building was bare which might indicate parking. It could be that it was designed to sell items/concessions/whatever during the day.

Bottom line, I don’t know. But if it was a concession stand for the drive-in, they didn’t make it easy to walk to during the movie.

Kenmore commented about Dunes Drive-In on Dec 20, 2025 at 2:33 pm

Drive-in was still intact and perhaps operational in 1983.

By 1997, it was totally demolished with a truck stop now on the property.

There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Kenmore commented about Sunset Drive-In on Dec 18, 2025 at 7:41 pm

The ticket booth was still there in 2012, but gone by 2015. The support poles for the marquee which were still there in 2015 was reduced to one by 2022. And gone by 2024.

The screen is in tatters, but still standing along with the projection booth.
