The Lexington Drive-In was actually between Anna Lewis Drive (the new hospital is off of this drive) and Old Salisbury Road (which is Old Hwy 29). It was right down the road from the Highway Patrol Station.

It was located across from where the new Lexington Memorial Hospital is now. It was near the DMV Office on Old Hwy 29 coming out of downtown Lexington. While doing my research a couple of years ago, I was fortunate to find a lady in Lexington that knew the Callahan’s. I was able to email back and forth with one of the sons and am now friends with him on Facebook. I could show you exactly where the Lexington Drive-In was located. I loved that place!

I hate that the Cinema 8 is now closed too. My husband and I were there one night and another guy came in. Right before the movie started, 2 more guys came in. They sat down in front of this guy. He said, “For God’s sake, don’t sit in front of me.” They had almost any seat in the theater and sat down right in front of this guy. It was really funny.

The Lexington Drive-In is now demolished! I hated to see it go! I had so much fun there! I love Drive-Ins!
