You are wrong jwmovies, very incorrect. I lived ¼ mile down the street 1981-1987 that is the corcet picture. I fished in thoose ponds for years.The photo is the right driveinn. Also FYI the place showed Adult films the last 7 years it was open…lol On nights when the air was thick with humidity we could hear the pornos loud and clear at our house .
Oh I see where you made your mistake jwmovies you looked at pic wrong. The top of the picture is due west, the right side of picture is due north.

Has something crashed or fallen over to the left of the marquee in the above photo?
