West Yarmouth Drive-In

An article in today’s Cape Cod Times says that site of the West Yarmouth will be used for an Irish festival in 2018. It’s “been a point of contention for the town since it was purchased for recreational use in 1985. In 2015, a Drive-in Site Utilization Committee was formed to consider possible uses … but push back from nearby residents has prevented any projects from moving forward.”

It listed the address for the site as 669 Route 28.

A quick check of the International Motion Picture Almanacs on my shelf show a 1000-car drive-in, sometimes called the Yarmouth, in the census-designated place of West Yarmouth (within the town of Yarmouth) beginning in either the 1958 or 1959 edition and continuing through its last drive-in list in 1988.
