I’m sorry. Although I still believe there was another East 30 in Ohio possibly using the same font for its business ads, looking at the fine print here I see a telephone prefix of 749 which was one of the prefixes common in New Haven Indiana. This may be correct for the New Haven theater. It’s too bad I can’t edit my existing comments or I would have fixed the above or deleted it.
The different font shows this is not for the Fort Wayne East 30 but instead it is for another East 30 Drive-In in Ohio. It is easy to tell the difference between the two East 30s' ads by their consistent use of the brand font.
Yes, the line between Fort Wayne and New Haven is right there. It is indeed the location now occupied by the community center. The screen is gone. I attended this Drive-In location many times growing up. The illustrated advertisement however is not for this particular East 30, but for another Drive-In called East 30 possibly in Ohio. The font is one of the ways you can tell the difference between the two East 30 drive-ins.

The photo with the go-kart next to the screen is correct. In addition to the track, there was also a nice little miniature golf business right there.

I believe you have this confused with the Lincolndale Drive-In. The east 30 Drive-In was on Highway 30 Lincoln Highway in New Haven Indiana
