I don’t remember a lot about the Midway Drive-In, but it was opened in the early-1960’s. It was located on Highway 70 West, not too far from the intersection with Highway 641. It was on the right as you were going out of Camden towards Bruceton. It was kind of in a valley with the back of the screen facing the highway. It was still opened in 1987 but has long been demolished.
