Site is now a Wal-Mart.
The Cecil Whig newspaper recently wrote a short retrospective. A couple of quotes:
Nathan Rosen had carefully located the new enterprise by finding a suitable tract, one large enough for 700 cars, on the new dual highway. The 15 acres were leased from the Society of the Divine Savior, a Catholic order popularly known as Salvatorians.
The lease was transferred to Reba and Muriel Schwartz in March 1960. The new owners were experienced motion picture operators … Local papers reported they were putting the Elk in first-class condition for the spring opening. The drive-in closed in the early 1980s, and in 1984 the property was sold.
The address for this Drive-in is 304 E Pulaski Hwy, Elkton, MD 21921.
Now a shopping center. The entrance ran through where Olive Garden is now located.
Please update.
This opened on May 12th, 1950, Its grand opening ad can be found in the photo section.
