Boxoffice, Aug. 4, 1958: “Harold V. Lee of Lee’s Woodland Drive-In Theatre on the Apollo-Leechburg Road, Route 66, is one of the hardest workers in the area. A Keppel Hill resident, he owns in excess of 200 acres of farm land in the general Vandergrift section. Here he operates sheep and turkey ranches, also he has a number of gas wells; he hold additional gas interests elsewhere; members of his family operate Lee’s long established general store. His motorized farm equipment are modern and "in use.” Harold drives a handsome ranch wagon on his visits to (Pittsburgh) Filmrow. His Woodland Drive-In is “up to date” in appointment and attractions and he operates his own concession business to the satisfaction of his good customers. An artificial lake on his property is “home” for area fishermen, and he operates a boat-rental service."

The Woodland was advertising itself “between Apollo and Leechburg” in May 1949.

The 1952 Theatre Catalog listed it as Lee’s Woodland, Exec: Harold A. Lee.

Reply to an email that I sent to the Riverside Drive-In: Yes, we installed a Christie CP2230 in January.

The Galaxy Drive in will re-open under new ownership on July 20, 2005.
It’s name has been changed to the Riverside Drive-In.

The name change was made by the new owner Ament Theatres, Inc. to avoid any connection with the debts or other problems associated with the former Galaxy Drive-In operators. The opening features will be “Herbie The Love Bug” and “Madagascar”
